Video reblogged from Mohandas Gandhi

An awesome video of the rally we organized last week. I helped edit the video with Dan Peters.

Portrait of a Protest - Milwaukee Police Brutality

Milwaukee, WI - Dozens of community organizations came together here, April 10, for the “Rally to Demand Justice for Trayvon Martin, Bo Morrison and Victims of Milwaukee Police Brutality”

Filmed and edited by Dan Peters with the assistance of Jacob Flom

According to a number of resources which focus on law enforcement and the criminal justice system in the United States, Milwaukee has been in the top 5 cities which suffer police brutality for decades now and what happened to Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida is, unfortunately,routinein the city of Milwaukee, the most segregated city in the country. What’s even more unfortunate is that there are dozens of cities just like Milwaukee in the United States and racial-minorities rarely have a chance to let their voices be heard.

On the upside, it truly is astounding how entire cities and entire communities across the country can come together to peacefully express their grievances and promote substantive discourse about racism in this country and how we might go about alleviating some of the tension. Trayvon Martin didn’t know he was going to be killed on February 26th but I’m sure he really didn’t think his life would serve as voice for so many or a vehicle to promote anti-racist policy change.
