The significance of bottom up global world political movement building has been indoctrinated through the Southern legacies of Ella Baker and Fannie Lou Hamer. These same organizing strategies exist today and have been catapulted through the present nationwide sentiment of cases such as, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Gardner. Here in Jacksonville, FL., Free Marissa Now organizers from across the country will share for the world the ambivalent attitude towards women and the systematic racism noted as gendered racism.
The People’s Movement Assembly process broadens the discussion to those in the community where the people are directly involved in the strategies and the outcomes that will be discussed. #BlackLivesMatter Caravan will also be here from California.
We believe that we can win and we believe that #blacklivesmatter.
