THE NEXT STEP IS NEW YEARS EVE -- UNION SQUARE TO TIMES SQUARE -- THIS MUST BE A RESOLUTE AND DETERMINED MASS POLITICAL ANSWER IN THE STREETS TO ALL THE REPRESSION, ALL THE SUFFOCATION, ALL THE ATTEMPTS TO STIFLE AND ATTACK THE RESISTANCE. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called on people to not protest police brutality and murder, a call echoed by every media outlet in the country. Meanwhile, a prosecutor in Houston and a grand jury in Milwaukee refused to bring charges against police who murdered two Black men. And late Tuesday night in Berkeley, MO a police officer killed an 18-year-old Black man. Reports are that hundreds of people responded on the spot in outrage. On Tuesday, hundreds of people defied the Mayor and protested police brutality in New York City, and Carl Dix and Travis Morales called for protests on New Year’s Eve at a press conference that got wide coverage: A Call from Carl Dix On New Years Eve, as the clock winds down on 2014, the powers that be will hope to be ringing in a new year that carries forward business as usual. That must not be allowed to go down because business as usual in Amerikkka includes wanton police murder of Black people. The refusal of grand juries in Ferguson and Staten Island to indict the cops who murdered Michael Brown and Eric Garner made this clear. So the powerful, beautiful and necessary outpourings that have disrupted this societys normal routine must continue and escalate on New Years Eve and into the New Year. We should live in a society where those who are entrusted with public safety would sooner risk their own lives than kill or injure an innocent person. But in this society, cops who brutalize and murder are given the benefit of the doubt and are almost never punished in any way for their crimes. This is illegitimate and unacceptable. It must be STOPPED, and its up to us to stop it! On New Years Eve, we must act in many different ways to do just that. If you think that police murder must STOP, be out in the streets with that message out on New Years Eve. Say in a loud, clear voice—NO NEW YEAR UNDER THIS OLD SYSTEM! And—WE CANT BREATHE! Bring your whistles and blow them loudly. Bring your signs and banners. And if you think that torture, that violence against women and attacks on womens rights, that attacks on immigrants and the pillaging of the environment of the planet, that U.S. wars for empire and attacks on people for who they love and how they love and more must be stopped; join us in the streets on New Years Eve. Bring your signs and banners too. Figure out imaginative ways to say NO MORE to all these horrors. If you think the powerful, beautiful and necessary outpourings that have disrupted this societys normal routine must continue and escalate, be at this meeting. *** Ferguson is Everywhere! Stop Police Brutality & Murder! • Justice for Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Akai Gurley and All Victims of Police Brutality and Murders! • Indict, Convict, and Send the Killer Cops to Jail! • Police Murders Must Stop Now! • Broken Windows and Bratton Must Go! https://cascade.madmimi/promotion_images/0829/7138/original/dec3.jpg?1417840420
