MLK Jr. Event in San José

by R. Robertson
Friends old and new gathered in front of the San José Martin Luther King Jr. library today as part of a national day of action. The major goal of the action, held in dozens of cities across the US, was to draw international attention to the systematic execution of Black Americans and the terrorism inflicted upon them by racist institutions, including the police.

The major goal of the action, held in dozens of cities across the US, was to draw international attention to the systematic execution of Black Americans and the terrorism inflicted upon them by racist institutions, including the police.

We were there to celebrate the joy, love, and hope of our future in defiant acts, and acts of peace.

The Raging Grannies wrote songs and our community of voices rose high. In those songs we called on everyone to commit themselves in the fight to eradicate racism, sexism, queer/transphobia, xenophobia poverty, injustice, and all violations of civil and human rights and liberties.
