socialjusticekoolaid:madamegribblepropanegoddess:socialjusticekoolaid:HAPPENING NOW (11.5.14): Protesters in Ferguson join the global #MillionMasksMarch, peacefully occupying their own streets and neighborhoods. Police respond by sending out dozens of riot police to block streets in residential neighborhoods. The police in Ferguson truly believe they own the streets, not the residents/taxpayers of the city. We’re three months in, and they’ve only become more brazen. With the looming lack of indictment for Darren Wilson being announced next week, it’s clear that the police are prepared to suppress the people, by any means necessary. Even if you’ve stopped paying attention, NOW is the time to start tuning back in to Ferguson. A grave injustice is happening there, and it’s not just the death of Mike Brown. This November 5th remember: “People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” #staywoke #farfromoverThe message is great but those masks are made in really shitty conditions that merit protesting of their own. Solidarity for all.^^^I think about this quite a lot actually. I have my own mask, and when I saw the words “Made in China” stamped on it, I felt like I’d made a grave mistake in ever purchasing it. I think the image is licensed to Time Warner too, so fun times supporting anti-fascism while proliferating a corporate-owned image. -- source link
