<div dir="ltr">If you attended the “Hands Up Walk Out” rally and/or provided resources for students protesting with the community, thank you for your support. However, the fight for justice and equity is not over. Black and Brown lives are continuously lost every single day due to police brutality and abuse, overall White supremacy.
<p dir="ltr"><span>Finals for students may end and “vacation” for the Hampshire community will begin this week but the murders, police brutality, victim blaming of Mike Brown, Eric Gardner, Aiyana Jones and many others continues.The people have said “this is a movement, not a moment”.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Therefore on <span><span>Friday, December 12th</span></span>, the Holyoke community plans to let the rest of the world know the fight has just begun with the march/rally “From Ferguson to NYC to HOLYOKE: BLACK & BROWN LIVES MATTER".</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>We can not be silent in this struggle, because silence is a sign of conformity. Our president, Jonathan Lash called for the Hampshire community to work towards an “Anti-racist” community so, <strong>we strongly encourage you to show the students and the rest of the community, that we can do this together. Please join Decolonize Media Collective in supporting Ferguson, the Holyoke Community and the rest of the world in demanding justice for Black and Brown lives. Starting at <span><span>3:00PM</span></span>, we are going make our presence known and voices heard as we march from Holyoke High School and rally at the UCC.</strong> There will be speakers and poetry performances at the rally. We need your support, energy and presence, </span><strong>we strongly encourage you to share this event in your classes, meetings, with your colleagues, friends and folks in the area.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What</strong>: Black and Brown Lives Matter March/ Rally against police brutality</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>When</strong>: THIS <span><span>Friday December 12, 2014</span></span> </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>Where</strong>: Career point</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>Why:</strong> Black and Brown lives are still being taken away from the community, the victims, our community is being targeted and blamed for their deaths and Black and Brown communities are being blamed for uprising </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>What else</strong>: WEAR ALL BLACK to support, specifically WARM CLOTHES. Bring an umbrella just in case (don’t let the weather affect your energy)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Drink water or other liquids as chanting can make your throat hurt. <strong>Voices should be LOUD and energies should be HIGH.</strong></span></p>
<p>Feel free to share the flier that is attached. If you have any questions you can directly reply to this email or ask Chris Tinson. Thank you </p>
<p>Signed,</p>
