This Friday In Alameda: Dance In The Streets For Revolution To Celebrate Mali Watkins - Video
This Friday In Alameda: Dance In The Streets For Revolution To Celebrate Mali Watkins A press release sent to Zennie62Media, which reads: WHAT: Dance your heart out and raise your voices in joyful protest. Bring your signs. Bring water. Bring your voices. Bring your masks. Please observe social distancing and dance 6 feet apart. WHERE/WHEN: Join us at Jackson Park in Alameda, this Friday, June 12th, at 3:30 PM. We will be dancing through the streets of Alameda from 4pm until we reach the Police Station at 1555 Oak Street. WHY: Because black people cannot EXIST in this country without the threat of racist police mistreatment. Mali Watkins, a respected resident of the City of Alameda, was harassed, thrown to the ground and arrested...for dancing while black. Yes, that’s correct - a Karen called the cops on a man for literally DANCING IN THE STREET. IMAGINE feeling so threatened by black expressions of joy that you feel the need to call the police as a result. So far, there has been NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION announced against the involved officers. We demand JUSTICE!!! Our Objectives: 1) SHOW SOLIDARITY For the less privileged and marginalized individuals of our society. Remember and honor the millions who have been harassed, abused and mistreated by law enforcement, such as our brother Mali Watkins. Remember and honor those who were murdered at the hands of police. Oscar Grant (Bay Area, killed by BART Police, on New Year’s Eve), Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Philando Castille, Stephon Clark, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Michael Brown, Tony McDade, Alton Sterling and thousands more. 2) DEMILITARIZE AND DEFUND POLICE NOW Reroute local police force budgets towards community development and education programs, including the City of Alameda’s, remove budgets items for militarization of law enforcement. Build from the ground up with social workers, community programs, racial bias and empathy training for all charged with protecting and serving our communities.
