St. Louis Rams In Solidarity With Ferguson

[phantomoftheblocka]

First it was "our signs made people uncomfortable" so we had to remove them. Then it was because Woodbury commons was Private property we had to remove them. Also the "general manger" of Woodbury commons said that we were causing a disturbance when in actuality we didn't attract a crowd until the he and his neon posse approached us. And if my sign that says "black lives matter" makes you uncomfortable I honestly want to know why. I wasn't even angry at that point. Just Inquisitive. What about black lives meaning something made your patrons feel so uncomfortable?

Statement from Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM) in New York City

DRUM - Desis Rising Up & Moving in Jackson Heights, New York

As immigrants, our struggles are one with Black and Brown communities fighting against police brutality. When our community is struggling for Administrative Relief to allow us to stay with our loved ones, Black and Brown communities are struggling to keep their families alive and together. We are here today as immigrants to stand in solidarity with Mike Brown, the people of Ferguson and all the people who have been victims of police violence.

Our communities refuse to go quietly into the night when our families are torn apart through detentions and deportations. When our youth are gunned down by the police with complete impunity. When police officers work with immigration to take our families away. When police officers think they are above the law and can get paid vacation after murdering Black and Brown people. We will not allow this to continue. Not One More!

To the people of Ferguson, thank you for your courage, thank you for resistance, thank you for your refusal to go quietly into the night. We will continue to stand and fight with you, till the end. Because we are One. And as Sister Assata Shakur said, "It is our duty to fight. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and protect each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains!"

“Black lives don't matter, black lives don’t matter…” repeats a young and frustrated protestor onto Amy Goodman’s microphone after hearing the news of Mike Brown’s death going unpunished. Wounds hurting, boots marching, things on fire. Obama calls for a peaceful state of disagreement. Military gear, smoke, bombs, gas, rage, bullets, tears, pain, rage, fear, gear, tears, so, much, suffering. "These young people have been betrayed by every level of government" says a reverend standing on the street in Clayton, the morning after Mike Brown's death goes unpunished.

#blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter I read over and over on my Facebook and Instagram feeds, the night and morning after hearing the news of Mike Brown’s death going unpunished.

I wish I had something else to offer right now, but all I can feel this morning, reading, watching, and feeling the news, in the face of yet another forgiven injustice, is a deep rooted sadness and a sense of anger that seats at the top of my stomach like a knot or a stone that’s just way too big to swallow.
