Not to be encumbered by today. We love you. Make us whole. We are broken. Make us whole. Amen. Amen. [applause] while you still have your hands as far back as i can see. Grab the hands of your neighbor. Hold your hands up. Everyone get your hands up. This is interesting. The cameras are still focused here. They should be focused out there. Look at the hands. Black, white, brown, asian. There they are. Nobody is doing nothing wrong. Everybody is doing everything right. That is right. Make you look today. Congress may be on vacation, but we will never take a vacation until we get what is right. , a youngd gentlemen man from Howard University is now mayor of newark, new jersey. Hands up. Dont shoot. Hands up. Dont shoot. I cant breathe. I cant breathe. I cant breathe. I cant breathe. We said i cant breathe not just because eric garner lost his life senselessly in the streets of new york from a needless chokehold. We say i cant breathe, because we are being suffocated diocese to of jim crow justice in suffocated by a disease of jim crow justice in america. That allows the murder of Trayvon Martin to go free. We say we cant breathe because we are tired of jim crow justice in america. We are out here today to say we will fight back. We will stand up. 1911 miss nelson and her son in 1911. A bridge they say we have come far in america, i say not far enough. 1955 a man was murdered and dragged from his home to a tallahassee river. They say we have come far in america, i say not far enough. Crow is dead jim in america. Dead inic garner is america. That mike brown is dead in america. Peoples no justice for of color and poor people in this country. Until there is justice for all, there will be justice for none. ,nywhere there is injustice there is injustice everywhere in this country where we are. Finally, wey, that are not just out here because we want Police Reform. Were not out here because we want the police to wear cameras. Although, we think that will help. We are not out here because we think the police we are out here because there is a systematic and consistent effort to dehumanize and criminalize people of color in this country that has been going on for decades in america. Are out here because we want the Police Department, but we need reform in congress. We need reform. Until america realizes that they need to invest in every citizen in this country, it will always be a problem. This country will never have peace. Will never have rest. Will never have justice. God bless you. Keep up the struggle. Keep hope alive. Keep pushing. Keep fighting. You know, there were 400 people who came here from ferguson, missouri. 400 folks came from ferguson, missouri. Hands up. Ladies and gentlemen, im going to allow we want you to understand, everybody will have a voice. This is not what outside to would do, or whoever would do. You have to ask the question, what will you do about it. My next speaker, a young man, what williams from ferguson, missouri, decided that he would do something. 400 people decided that they would do something. Round of ua williams a applause. Are you doing . How are you doing . I came all the way to washington, d. C. To show you love and support. I support you. You support us. The reason we came up. Its because we are being tired of being shut down in the streets. The police have a thing called the trigger finger. The use the trigger finger when they see a black person in the street. When we walked down the street, our shoulders because the Police Officers coming. Wally going to store, theres no reason we should be followed by Police Officer because were black. We should be able to be black in america and be free. Were going to stand up to these Police Officers. Were going to tell, were going to plan and to Police Brutality. Your one stop killing our kids. For five days for protesting in the street. I was out of jail, and back in the polices face. The next time i get out of jail, i will read be right back in your face. The next time i get beat, and get out of the hospital, i will be right back in your face. Was beaten too. With the chief, but she started marching, other offices marched in, and i would i would beat on the ground. After i went to the hospital, i out there k in their face. T, stage people you see on right here this is my protest family. I have a pretty big family. You to do put your hands in the air. Put your hands in the air. That is the sign of surrender. Not know that. Young d, they took a mans life. The shock that man. That next day, he was going to be in college. Earning his education. He did not understand that he took leslie son away from her. Now she has to spend the holidays without her son. They do not understand how hard it is to have a son taken away with a bullet. We need to tell them to stop doing the stuff. We all want a life. We all want to live. Kids l want to see our grow up and have an education. We want to make it. Okay . Back to rget us, we go ferguson. Come to ferguson, protest with us. Im going to end this with this of good signs, cant breathe quote. I see that to thats nice. No justice no peace hands up dont shoot i love you. I love you. Is tony sanders. Im rigid from North Carolina by the washingtonian for 10 years. Im one of the organizers that is 395 shut down 14th st. And is shutting down everything all night. I would tell you why we are out your shutting down the street. This is not an issue Police Brutality tonight. A human right issue. Michael browns human rights were violated when he was shot in the street. To a d not get the rights trial. Trayvon martin, he did not get to be judged. Were here fighting human rights tonight. It is not black against white tonight. Against the system. It is us against white supremacy. If you make the mistake of or ling this civil rights, calling the simply an issue of Police Brutality, the system will win. What were doing right now is exactly what the system doesnt to see black faces, white faces, asian faces, hispanic faces here together today. They do not want to see us unite. Race is nothing but a social construct that has been invented to divide us today, throw race ll we aside and we look at one another as humans. Do not say fist up, fight in washington, d. C. Fist up fight back. We tried that way. We tried to be nonviolent. In the d to door hands air and say, we surrender. But nothing can stop the genocide of black and brown people here in america. Can stop it. Say fists up, fight back then she looked at me and said, sorry. Thats all right. Also you like the attorney general says, im not mad at her. She has a lot to say. Young folks. On the program. President of the Howard UniversityStudent Association to say hello. Hands up. Dont shoot. In the 3 1 2 years that ive been in Howard University weve davis, trayvon y martin, eric garner, Michael Brown. We marched, we protested, we and we got the role guilty verdicts. All that said, the system is working for the people and to work for. Thats not how the story ends. The people you see protesting and ferguson have been protesting for 127 days straight. The people protesting in new york will not let this story and. Were here in dc, to say this is not how the story ends. If they thought this would be how the story would end, america has to wake up. This is our time. This is our fight. This is our chance to tell america that we are tired of police getting away with murder. In america, a black man is 17 times more likely to be killed than a white man. Department of he justice, a black man is killed by white officer twice per week. Im not appear because im an activist. This is because personal. Whos not to or too class, to realize that this could then my parents crying over me being in the grave. Honestly, i could care less about the media. I could care less about the press. For this event to not become an annual event. What ive come to realize is that america is really a living, breathing contradiction. That wrote, country all men are created equal. The same country that concentration camps here put japanese into internment camps in california. We dont like to talk about it, but it happened. Now, people have been and issioned to protect us, served us, but are harassing us and killing us. Contradiction is as american as apple pie. Black peoples task has always narrow the disparity. The question now becomes, what is next . What are we going to do about it . Real Community Policing. Not talking about cultural sensitivity classes. About, the dude you played basketball on the court, Community Policing. Into ed programs that go high schools and give the kids that e Officers Community policing theres no other way to do it than from the ople community to become the least. We also need accountability for the Police Officers that are acting with impunity. I believe the president should expand the department of include a division specifically dealing with Police Misconduct resulting in death. That something he can do on his own. You dont have to wait for congress. There are things that we can legislate. Barista, we cannot legislate and les assumptions stereotypes. We need a cultural shift. I leave you with a quote, no give you freedom. Knowing to give you justice, equality, or anything. Take it. An, you malcolm x. The next speaker is the National Youth director of the National Action network, all the way from atlanta, georgia. Hello, everybody. How are you . First, let me say, can everyone give yourselves a round of in this cold. Dr. Martin luther king jr. Once said that a justice anywhere is a justice everywhere. We are tied in a single garment of destiny. What affects us directly, and all that indirectly. America, it is this in mind that i go the cries of our young people. Wake up, america. Our young people are dying in the hands of those sworn to protect us. When i look out into the crowd, im proud to see different genders, ferent different affiliations, and different organizations. It will take all of us working together to make the change. I want to thank every up fighting tanding against atrocities. It is called stop and new york city, assume the position in chicago, or up in oakland w the police make it very clear, we are the police and you have no rights in the society. We know the police are our First Encounter with the judicial system that is destroying black and brown trees in this country. Must hold america and this country accountable. So, what will we do . We need to use our 1 trillion buying power and support communities. This country today, and every day, until we see change we make you uncomfortable. Because, africanamerican people in this country have been uncomfortable for too long. So, we will march. We will protest. We will rally. We will come back to this capital as many times as we have to because, enough is enough. So, what do we come to dc to do . To tell come to dc congress that hearings on misconduct and brutality should lead towards legislation. To tell e come to dc congress to do their job. You so much. No justice no peace thank you so much. I made a mistake. I said congress was on not all , but thats congress. Some folks decided they were going to stay. From f them is congressman houston, texas. And gentlemen, the congressman. Start by com
