MLK March for Justice 1/21 from 1-2pm
Hello comrades,
The Boston May Day Coalition is endorsing the MLK March for Justice on Martin Luther King Jr. Day next week, being hosted by Mass Action Against Police Brutality. The march will begin at 1 pm, Monday January 21st, outside the Grove Hall branch of the Boston Public Library (41 Geneva Ave, Dorchester). Here is the blurb from MAAPB's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/events/721405628245586/ ):
" 4 and half years ago the Ferguson uprising electrified the country. It inspired Boston to March on MLK day for the first time in many years. Highlighting the methods of mass action demonstrated by MLK and millions of others known and unknown from the Civil Rights movement, the March for Justice has taken to the streets every year since. Now in 2019 the need to take to the streets to demand justice remains as urgent as ever.
Joining grieving families who have lost loved ones to police violence, we continue to call for jailing the killer cops. We demand the reopening of past cases of police brutality. We demand an end to racist and religious attacks! We call for the end of mass incarceration & institutionalized racism! We say stop the wall!! Stop the raids and deportations! Raise the minimum wage to a living wage! Make housing affordable to all!
There is no doubt MLK would join the fight against police brutality, he would oppose the 'New Jim Crow' of mass incarceration and institutionalized racism, he would join those demanding a stop to racist and religious attacks, and he would stand with those demanding a raise in the minimum wage to a living wage and the thousands of federal workers demanding to be put back to work as he supported the striking sanitation workers of Memphis, and he would oppose the xenophobic travel ban, wall, raids, and deportations.
Join us in the streets outside the Grove Hall branch of the Boston Public Library, on Monday, Jan 21, 1pm, when we gather in commemoration of the heroic Civil Rights Movement and it's best known leader MLK. We march to continue the unfinished struggle for racial equality and economic justice.
****WE WILL CONCLUDE THE MARCH WITH AN INDOOR RECEPTION SO PARTICIPANTS CAN WARM UP FROM THE COLD AND LISTEN TO SOME SELECT SPEECHES BY MLK****
