DESCRIPTION:August 8-10: Mark the Anniversary of the Police Murder of Mike Brown and 
 the Heroic Uprising that Followed: \nIt Was – AND IS – Right to Rebel!! 
 \n\nOn August 9, it will be one year since a Ferguson, Missouri, cop, 
 Darren Wilson executed Michael Brown for walking in the middle of the day 
 on a sleepy street. Mike Brown was unarmed, running away, and had his hands 
 up when he was shot multiple times and then his body was left lying dead in 
 the street for four-and-a-half hours. \n\nThis brutal murder was met with 
 outrage. For days and then weeks people took to the streets with defiance, 
 rage, and righteous rebellion. People insisted on their rights and defended 
 those rights in the street. Without the rebellion, this terrible state-done 
 murder would just be another rerun of the same old, all-too-familiar story, 
 the same murderous stuff that happens to Black and Latino youths over and 
 over again. Very few people would have shared the grief of his parents for 
 the terrible loss of this young man, at the very beginning of his life. The 
 defiance and righteous rebellion challenged people all over the country to 
 get off the sidelines and stand with those refusing to take this any 
 longer. \n\nIt is important that on the weekend of August 8-10, the 
 anniversary of the murder of Michael Brown, people stand firmly and 
 publicly manifest that the verdict rendered by the people, that those who 
 took to the streets of Ferguson in righteous and defiant rebellion and 
 protest night after night, was true – Mike Brown did not have to die. It 
 was right for the people of Ferguson to rebel and people everywhere are 
 proud of them for rising up. On– Mike Brown should not have been murdered 
 by the police. \n\nHANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT! Fuck the DOJ! The struggle in 
 Ferguson opened a crack in the coffin where America has buried alive whole 
 sections of Black and Latino youths and the struggle over the last year has 
 widened the crack further. WE WILL NOT GO BACK. \n
