The Ferguson grand jury is still deliberating on whether to charge Police Officer Darren Wilson in shooting death of Michael Brown or send him on his merry way.
When the verdict is announced, groups will hit the street with all deliberate speed. The Ferguson National Response Network is curating after-the-verdict events nationwide. The FBI, National Guard and police departments across the country are getting ready. So are social justice activists.
There was a great turnout for the training session co-sponsored by Up Against the Law Legal Collective and Avenging the Ancestors Coalition F(ilm) the Police Committee which I chair.
The interactive training raised awareness of what to do if stopped by the police, including the right to film police activity.
You can download all the “Stop Snitching on Yourself” infographics. The training session is available on YouTube.
