DESCRIPTION:From Egypt to the Bay, Stop Militarization of Our Communities!\nDefend the 
 Egyptian Revolution!\nCivilian Rule Now!\nStop US Aid to Egypt 
 Military!\nCampaign Against Corporations that Profit from Chemical 
 Weapons!\nDemand Accountability for State Brutality!\n\nAs 2011 gives way 
 to 2012, people’s movements for justice are met with unprecedented global 
 militarization. From Oakland to Egypt, people are demanding democracy and 
 an equitable distribution of wealth while attacked with tear gas and pepper 
 spray, rubber bullets and live ammunition. We have become all too familiar 
 with the recent images of the words “Made in the USA” on tear gas 
 canisters used against Egyptians, thousands of whom have been injured and 
 scores killed. Others have experienced firsthand the brutality of these 
 weapons used against the decolonize/occupy movements in the US. Tear gas, 
 however, is but one manifestation of this assault.\n\nMilitarization is not 
 new. Police brutality is not a recent phenomenon. Communities of color and 
 poor communities have long faced the violence of systems of power. Police 
 brutality, racial profiling, surveillance of communities, control of media 
 and communication, and attacks on immigrants in the US are all connected to 
 the global militarization we are seeing in Egypt and other places where 
 people are fighting for their freedom. What we are witnessing today is an 
 illumination of these acts of violence as thousands stand together in 
 defiance of such assaults.\n\nWe echo this resolve. We will not allow 
 corporations to profit off the brutality against our people in the US or 
 abroad! Egyptian revolutionaries have asked for the movements in the US to 
 shutdown the manufacturing and shipment of weapons and we heed their call 
 in solidarity. We are calling for a targeted campaign against the 
 corporations that profit off the use of these chemical weapons. These 
 corporations have paved the way for a systemic attack against movements for 
 justice.\n\nWe must also hold our government accountable for their hand in 
 repression abroad and demand they stop military aid to Egypt. We will not 
 allow our tax dollars to be used in supporting corporations and dictators 
 that profit from and facilitate state violence against our people in the US 
 and abroad!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/12/01/18701404.php
