To America, Darren Wilson is Innocent. INDICT AMERICA.

Darren Wilson was not indicted for the killing of Michael Brown.  Killer cops are viewed as law abiding citizens. Darren Wilson says he was just doing his job. He’s right.

Richard Haste, Ramarley Graham’s murderer in New York, claims he did nothing wrong. He’s right.

Cops who murder Black and brown people in the name of America's law enforcement aren’t just innocent; they’re commended for a job well done. INDICT AMERICA.

People in dozens of cities in the US are planning to turn up in their own cities today to protest the verdict.  JOIN US!

Special Role for Peace Movement in Struggle for Racial Justice


Over fifty years ago the Rev. Martin Luther King said "Without Justice there can be no peace".  He devoted much of his life to what he later described as the tripple threat of racism, poverty and militarism, including in his last year his role as a leader ot the anti-war movement against the Vietnam war.  Today a black youth is 21 times more likely to be killed by police than a white youth in America according to a ProPublica study.  Civil rights activists who would oppose this cruel fact face increasingly militarized police forces in most American cities.

"The senseless killing of Mike Brown is a movement moment for racial justice and an opportunity to advance economic and social justice for all. We in the peace movement have a special role to play in this struggle because our work is global. Our work is for peace at home and peace abroad. We know that war and militarism has no borders. If we are to have peace abroad we must confront injustice, violence and the militarization of police in our own communities. We must build peace at home.

Ferguson Protest"The struggle against violence and militarism in Ferguson continues, as it does around the world. 

"It is our charge as peacemakers and justice-seekers to stand with the people of Ferguson and all those who are victims of state violence as we make clear the connections between the war at home and the wars abroad, such as the renewed U.S. bombing of Iraq and Syria.”



-Michael McPhearsonVeterans for Peace Interim Executive Director; former National Coordinator, United for Justice with Peace
