Civil Rights/Equal Rights

On the 16th of February, DC Ferguson released a statement condemning the refusal of a Federal jury to hold DC cops even civally liable for the murder of Ralphael Briscoe during a "jump-out" attack by the police. Once again there is no justice for those murdered by the police, just the people. DC Ferguson has also called for a rally and march on Sunday, Feb 22 at 6PM starting at the Congress Heights Metro station. This protest will march to the 7th district police station.

On the 24th of January, civil rights protesters showed up in Silver Spring, MD next to the outdoor skating rink by the Civic Center. Although this small group was entirely peaceful, heavily armored Montgomery County cops and three cop cars lurked about a block back watching. The music at the skating rink was gradually turned up in an attempt to override the rally speakers and their megaphone. The rally was very visible to all those using the skating rink, and educational in an unexpected place. It was followed by a short march through downtown Silver Spring.
