About 200 gathered on 11-26-14 in downtown St. Louis regarding Ferguson. Starting at Kiener Plaza the demonstrators peacefully walked down the sidewalks and streets to the Old Courthouse (where a mock trial was held) then to Market & 12th/Tucker for 4.5 minutes of silence & hand holding. Just after the silence it started snowing as we all then walked over to City Hall. People sat on the steps to City Hall and then the police, who'd peacefully been with the entire walk, blocking intersections for us and such began getting agitated, the riot police came out of nowhere -- police started getting mean, telling us we were now unlawful and had to leave. So some of us did, then I heard it got ugly after that.

Washington DC, December 13, 2014. Reverend Al Sharpton of National Action Network joins with the families of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and others in a "Justice For All" rally and march to protest police violence and racism. A diverse crowd of tens of thousands assembled at Freedom Plaza and marched down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the US Capitol for a rally with speeches by Sharpton and others.
Interactions between the demonstrators and police were generally cordial during the 'official' phases of the event but got contentious when a relatively small raucous, radical faction, shouting "we shut shit down", later decided to take over busy 7th Street, blocking traffic, staging a 'die in' near the Smithsonian American Art Museum and briefly occupying a tent at a nearby holiday street market. Some of the younger activists in this group had occupied the main event stage for a time in an effort to get their concerns voiced but were silenced when the Justice For All organizers cut off their microphones. There is definitely tension in the anti police violence movement between older now establishment figures like Sharpton who prefer working through the system and the mainly college age activists who've embraced relentless non-violent civil disobedience street action as one of their most important tactics.

Peaceful protest in Oakland, California following the no indictment decision for the killing of Michael Brown by Darren Wilson in Ferguson, St. Louis, Missouri. This march led from 14th & Broadway in Oakland to various corners of the perimeter. Even in the middle of Interstate 580 freeway two times. The looting and fires were started by those whom dare not show their face, for their intentions are not in lined with those mourning for the lives of youth of color across the world and across the nation at the hands of a systematic oppressor. during these protests, time after time, people come from all over the region to incite violence in protests in oakland. let it be known that this protest started after the no indictment decision by the grand jury as a "die-in"; where people outlined their bodies in chalk in the street. the same way that is done in a murder scene. this act of protest is peaceful and in no way incites violence against the city we call home. only those whom dont have to wake up the next morning to broken windows and garbage would do such a thing. It's hard to distinguish those kinds of people in times of civil unrest and they know this. stay secure minded.

Washington DC, Tuesday evening November 25, 2014. Around twenty five hundred social justice activists gathered at Mount Vernon Square for a rally and march to protest the failure of the St. Louis County, Missouri Grand Jury to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the killing of unarmed black teenager Mike Brown. The marchers blocked several intersections for brief periods of time and occupied the H Street Walmart Superstore for about fifteen minutes. The nearly two hour long march ended on the steps of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Interactions between the marchers and police were testy at times but there were no arrests I am aware of.

Washington DC, U Street, Saturday Evening September 6, 2014. A diverse group of around 200 activists affiliated with The Answer Coalition, American Muslim Alliance, National Black United Front, Party For Socialism And Liberation and other social justice groups gathered at the African American Civil War Memorial for a short march to the intersection of 14th and U St. This historic crossroads was occupied by the demonstrators for around five minutes in honor of cop-murdered unarmed black teen Mike Brown and the countless millions of other folks who've been abused by our culture of violence. The march then proceeded further west on U St. until an intense thunderstorm persuaded most of the participants to seek shelter.

Nearly a thousand people marched the streets of Portland Oregon in response to the grand jury's decision. The night went well, some decided to get moderately violent and the protest ended up getting shut down with tear gas when major roads were getting blocked.

Washington DC, Wednesday December 10, 2014. Around 200 social justice activists assembled at the Pennsylvania Avenue entrance to the US Department Of Justice in a Vigil For Delegation Of Grieving Mothers who've lost sons to police violence. Many of the women spoke movingly about the loss of their sons and of their experience seeking but not finding justice. The event was hosted by Mothers Against Police Brutality, CODEPINK, National Congress Of Black Women and Hands Up DC Coalition. The killing of Trayvon Martin by jury acquitted cop wannabe George Zimmerman and the failure by grand juries to indict the white police officers who killed unarmed African Americans Michael Brown and Eric Garner have reenergized the movement against police brutality. Many of the women present here tonight have been working on this issue for decades. Wanda Johnson, mother of Oscar Grant, and Jeralynn Blueford, mother of Alan Blueford, are in the foreground of this photograph.
