[Peace-discuss] Organize!

[Rachel Storm]

Hey folks---If anyone has heard of another demo being planned, I'm happy to
send notices out, cancel this one, and redirect people there. I've
contacted a number of African-American led organizations in town and can't
seem to tell if something is already in the works. Either way, I'm happy to
help try and get the word out and then redirect if need be.

Okay, here's what I got to start.

Please forward widely.

*No Justice, No Peace x Protest the Verdict
*
*Sunday, July 14th, 2013 | 6pm-8pm*
*Douglass Park | 512 E. Grove St. Champaign*
"George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot
Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, igniting a national debate on
racial profiling and civil rights, was found not guilty late Saturday night
of second-degree murder." We will stand together in Champaign-Urbana to
demand accountability, to stand against racial injustice, and to protest
the verdict that proved the injustice of the system. We stand with
Trayvon’s family and we know that we are called to act---to fight for civil
rights and for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state, and we
will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed. Today we
mourn, but tomorrow we organize. #blacklivesmatter

Bring your friends, your family, your children, your neighbors. We stand
together as a community--all of us. Art, protest signs, candles, and
messages of outrage/hope/love/solidarity are encouraged.
