UVM Campus, Lafayette 210 (next to Megabus stop on University Place)

The grand jury's decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson for the August 9 murder of Ferguson resident Mike Brown is simultaneously shocking and predictable. The global spotlight on Ferguson makes the decision to let Wilson walk all the more surprising, but the ugly reality is that police routinely murder black and brown people without facing consequences. The number of people killed by police last year was the highest number in 20 years, according to the FBI itself.

Come to this meeting to discuss why the police are so out of control and what we can do to demand justice.

Speakers:
Jennifer Gil, anti-racist activist, ALANA student activist, Alianza Latina board member
Rashad Shabazz, UVM faculty member in the Department of Geography and a long time activist against injustice in the prison system
Helen Scott, UVM faculty member in the Department of English and member of the International Socialist Organization
