They put the call out for a Weekend of Resistance. We (myself and other activists) are answering it. If you can’t physically be there with us, there are other ways you can help. Here are at least 6:
• When people on the ground in Ferguson put a ‘Call for Action’ out, respond! If it’s making calls, sending an email, signing a petition etc. Do it!
• DONATE, DONATE, DONATE! Ferguson is a grassroots movement. To sustain it, they need money for bail, supplies etc.
• Retweet/repost tweets & photos from people on the ground as much as possible. This helps everyone else see what’s happening as it happens
• Combat false narratives circulated by media and others online.
• When independent journalists on the ground start streaming live, TUNE IN each & every time. This way we can all bear witness to what is happening in real-time.
• Talk about injustices in Ferguson (and beyond) with friends and loved one. Teach people about militarization in US cities & marginalized groups, racism, police brutality, criminalization etc
The police and military in Ferguson are already gearing up for our arrival so it’s imperative that we all stay vigilant this weekend
I’ll be live-tweeting & documenting (via videos & photos) as much as possible to help expose injustice(s) & highlight the forward progress of the movement, especially the residents of Ferguson who have been doing the work daily
Every single one of us has a role to play in this movement. We don’t always have to be physically present to help. Utilize the tools you have at our disposal to help
