#BlackLivesMatter
This Saturday, December 13th, Greater NYC for Change will gather with people across the nation in a Day of Resistance. We’re demanding an end to police brutality, particularly of unarmed members of our communities of color, and recognition of the vital importance of black humanity in our society.
We urge you to join us here in New York City. But your participation is essential, wherever you are. Go to fergusonaction.com for information about events in your area.
We join in the demand to engage in civil disobedience and #ShutItDown this Saturday from the conviction that out of this peaceful crisis can emerge the reform of the criminal justice system and the promise of the equitable and just society that #AllOfUs require.
SIGN THE PETITION to Governor Cuomo demanding that AG Eric Schneiderman be appointed to investigate and prosecute cases involving unarmed civilians killed by police officers, now!
