3. I just saw this and I think it is a really positive way to turn this awful tragedy into a movement.

It's clear that a new Civil Rights Movement is necessary and Ferguson seems to be a good place for it to begin.

Thanks for posting this.

All the demands are things that need to happen, particularly law enforcement being held accountable and being demilitarized. I'm unable to march, but I can undertake to contact the DOJ, the President, and Governor Nixon. Thank you for your stories on Ferguson. I truly think that it could be a turning point; the abuse of power is so blatant. BTW, there are some more or less insignificant Duers that appreciate what you are doing.

5. Bookmarking the website. I can call the DOJ, the WH and Gov Nixon as they requested

I can also use Social Media to spread the word as they suggested.

We are striving for a world where we deal with harm in our communities through healing, love, and kinship. This means an end to state sponsored violence, including the excessive use of force by law enforcement. We are committed to an America that comes to terms with the trauma of its painful history and finds true reconciliation for it. Mass incarceration and the criminalization of black and brown people must forever end, leaving in its place a culture that embraces our histories and stories. This means an end to racial bias and white supremacy in all its forms.


Our dreams are directly linked with those resisting militarism, war, and state repression around the world. We will achieve this new beloved community hand in hand, step by step, in global solidarity with all people committed to lasting peace and full justice.

Our police are out of control. They are being trained to view the public, especially minorities, as the enemy. That is unacceptable in a democracy.

Thanks again for this post. I hope they get a lot of support from people all over the country.
