DESCRIPTION:In Solidarity with the people marching in Selma. Alabama this 
 Weekend\n\nRally and Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge\n12 noon, Saturday 
 March 7th\nMeet in the Parking lot on the South (San Francisco) Side of the 
 Bridge\nBring Signs, Banners and your voice\n\nUSA, 1965—Black people in 
 Selma, Alabama, viciously attacked by cops and the Klan for seeking the 
 right to vote, beaten with baseball bats and billy clubs, tear gas, and 
 whips; ... people murdered by brutalizing police, by racist vigilantes; ... 
 “whites only” Jim Crow segregation still prevails across the South, and 
 in the North—Black people crammed into crumbling ghettos; forced to 
 attend overcrowded, underfunded inner city schools; arrested, beaten, and 
 murdered by police; kept in the lowest-paying, most dangerous jobs, if they 
 find work at all...\n\nUSA, 2015—a full half-century later—a New Jim 
 Crow of criminalization and mass incarceration of Black and men still in 
 full effect; more Black men in prison today than were enslaved in 1850; 
 soaring unemployment for Black people in cities across the entire country; 
 public schools more segregated now—60 years since the U.S. Supreme Court 
 put an end to the hateful “separate but equal doctrine”—than they 
 were in the late 1960s; And increasingly, Black people denied the right to 
 vote, supposedly the most “sacred” right of U.S. citizenship, at a rate 
 seven times higher than that for white people.\n\nOn top of that, there’s 
 the increasing number of Black men and youths murdered by police in every 
 city of this country—choked to death on a sidewalk in New York; shot and 
 killed walking down the street in Ferguson, Missouri, in a park in 
 Cleveland, on a train in Oakland; racist vigilantes murdering Black youth 
 in cold blood, being let free by courts at every level, up to and including 
 the Federal government.  The system is once again forcefully reminding us 
 of the Dred Scott Decision that Black people have “no rights which the 
 white man was bound to respect”.\n \nBut, also in August 2015, the 
 defiant youth of Ferguson stood up. They sparked a powerful movement to 
 stop the murder of people at the hands of the police. Tens of thousands of 
 people, of different ethnicities and all over the country, blocked highways 
 and bridges, marched through shopping malls, did "die-ins" everywhere, 
 walked out from school, and left work. These actions shook this country to 
 its core.\n \nNow We Are At a Crossroads…Will we allow the system to 
 suppress this movement and continue business as usual, or will re-take the 
 offensive and bring even more massive waves of struggle to STOP the murder 
 of Black, Brown and all people by the police?\n \nOn April 14, we need to 
 take our movement to STOP wanton police murder to a whole new level. NO 
 SCHOOL! NO WORK! NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!\n\nOn this day, thousands of 
 students walking out of school, taking over buildings and going on strike 
 at colleges and high schools nationwide. People gathering and marching in 
 cities all across the U.S. The normal routine of this society, which 
 includes wanton police murder of Black and Brown people, must be brought to 
 a Halt! \n		\n* The murder of Black and Brown people by the police MUST 
 STOP.\n	* Justice for all the victims of brutal, murdering police.\n	* 
 Indict, convict and send killer cops to jail—the whole damn system is 
 guilty as hell.\n	* Stop the repression targeting the protests—Drop all 
 the charges against all those arrested.\n\n
