DESCRIPTION:RISE UP OCTOBER!\nto STOP Police Terror\nA Call From Cornel West and Carl 
 Dix\n\nhttp://www.stopmassincarceration.net/\n\nMichael Brown…Freddie 
 Gray… Rekia Boyd… Andy Lopez…Tamir Rice\n\nOne after another -- and 
 so many others, precious Black and Brown lives – victims of police 
 murder. We think of their faces, and furiously ache for justice. Over 1000 
 people a year killed by police – yet since 2005, less than 60 
 indictments, less than 25 convictions!\n\nMillions languish in prison, 
 generation after generation, Black and Latino brothers and sisters. The 
 spear point of a whole matrix of oppression. \n\nPeople have struggled, 
 resisted, risen up. This must go on and go further – all summer, in many 
 different ways, intensifying. At the same time, these repeated outrages cry 
 out for a major, national manifestation this fall that states very clearly: 
 \n\nNO! THESE MURDERS BY POLICE MUST STOP - NOW!!\nThis demonstration will 
 be resistance-based, uncompromising in spirit and, at the same time, 
 pluralistic and diverse, involving hundreds of thousands of people, 
 reaching into every corner of this society and powerfully impacting the 
 whole world. History has shown that no significant change has been won 
 without mass determined resistance.\n\nWe refuse to be derailed by promises 
 of reform that are merely that: promises. We refuse to be intimidated by 
 government repression or by threats from forces of open and unrepentant 
 racism and fascism. We will respond to the urgency of the political 
 situation by mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to take to the 
 streets to say these horrors must stop. \n\nWe aim to amplify the many 
 forms of resistance against police murder and mass incarceration. More 
 important, we aim to change the whole social landscape, to the point where 
 a growing section of people all over take ever-increasing initiative and 
 make it unmistakably clear that they refuse to live in a society that 
 sanctions this outrage, and where those who do NOT feel this way are put on 
 the defensive.\n\n
