As you know, it’s been a particularly tough time for the Brown family post grand jury decision, and one of the fraternities on my school campus has organized an event for the Brown family. It’s called #LettersToFerguson. We’re going to be writing letters to the Brown family and mailing it to them. The media attention has been focused on the protests and violence, but the discussion and sympathy has all but disappeared for the family of the deceased teen. We want to do something for the Brown family to let them know that we have not forgotten Michael Brown. But we also want to include everyone in on this – not just people from our campus.
So I encourage everyone to get on your social media platforms and say something in support of the Brown family with the hashtag #LettersToFerguson.
For those of you in the New York, Long Island, or Stony Brook areas, we invite you to come to Stony Brook University and write your own letter. The event will be held today December 4, 2014 in the SAC at 7:30PM eastern time. And if you need directions or have questions, please contact [email protected].
If you do not live close by or if you can’t make it, and you want to send in your own letter, you can email it to [email protected].
