SUMMARY:Shame on Marty Walsh: a response to police violence
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday August 23rd\, Mayor Marty Walsh handed the alt-right a permit to march down the streets of Boston in a “Straight Pride Parade”. He also gave police forces from all over the state— as well as the F.B.I. and National Guard— the green-light to attack peaceful LGBTQ+ counter-protesters. Bearing “Blue Lives Matter” flags\, they targeted medics\, marshalls\, and press in a calculated attempt to protect the white nationalists\, who called for the forced removal of immigrants\, a return to sexual “normalcy”\, and Trumps re-election\, among other things. \nThe results of the action\, while terrifying\, are ultimately unsurprising. There is documented evidence that a large portion of the B.P.D. is\, in fact\, part of the alt-right. And over the past few years\, we have seen the militarization of black and brown communities progressively escalate— countless ICE raids have taken place in Walsh’s “Sanctuary City”\, and just last month\, Operation ‘Clean Sweep’ brutalized multiple folks experiencing homelessness and put them behind bars. \nIt is time to hold Mayor Walsh and the B.P.D. accountable for their actions. \nThis Saturday\, meet us for a rally outside of City Hall to demand: \n? DROP THE CHARGES: The courts + city are trying to make an example of anyone arrested by way of bogus charges and outrageous punitive measures. Anti-facism is not a crime! \n? RESIGNATION OF JOHN DANILECKI: Captain Danilecki of the B.P.D. Bike Unit is one of the top 50 paid public employees in Boston as of 2016 ($315\,750.29/year)\, and spearheaded the brutality that we saw last Saturday. \n? RESIGNATION OF THOMAS HORGAN: Out of the 36 protestors arraigned this week\, three were ordered by Judge Thomas Horgan to “stay out of Boston”\, under threat of arrest. He didn’t explain his reasoning\, but we know why he did it. The State and its agents will continue to uphold white nationalism unless we FIGHT BACK. \n? END THE MILITARIZATION OF BLACK + BROWN COMMUNITIES: We stand firmly against gentrification\, against the criminalization of poverty and homelessness\, against the long legacies of violence left behind by Jim Crow’s loitering laws\, and against the War on Drugs
