No Justice, No Peace: Families of police brutality victims speak out

July 10, 2012

We’re seeing the beginning of a new wave of opposition to the current injustice system - a new wave of civil rights protests. If you’re interested in seeing what that might look like, this incredible video starts to paint a picture. It was even more compelling in person. I realize the video is kind of long, but just share the video, press play and within the first 20 minutes you’ll realize how much you want to watch the whole thing.

A June 30 panel discussion from the Socialism 2012 Conference in Chicago, featuring family members of Alan Blueford, James Earl Rivera, Jr, and Ramarley Graham, all victims of police murder. How can we win justice for these families, and how can we continue to build a movement against the New Jim Crow?

UPDATE:

July 25, 2012

In the wake of Anaheim and Dallas this week, I thought this would be appropriate to share again. For all racial-justice oriented people, watch this. Start at 32 minutes if you want to skip to parents and family members of recently murdered victims of police brutality. That’s the most powerful part, but honestly the whole panel is really good.
