WHITE/NON BLACK ALLIES
While we appreciate the solidarity shown by White and Non-Black POC, want to remind folks of some things:
-Please refrain from taking up space in all ways possible. Remember that you are there in support of black folks, so should never be at the centre of anything
-Refrain from speaking to the media. Black voices are crucial to this
-Stand behind black folks or between us and the police
-If you see a cop harassing a black person, come in and engage. (chances are they are least likely to arrest you)


************
Mike Brown was murdered. And the state let his murderer get away without even an indictment.

Black people are murdered by the state in our local communities regularly and systematically. And their murderers get away with it on a regular basis.

24 HRS FOLLOWING A NO-INDICTMENT VERDICT IN THE MURDER OF MIKE BROWN WE WILL MEET IN SOLIDARITY TO PROTEST.
