We just got news that there will be another march this evening and thought
y'all would want to know about it.

MARCH FOR TRAYVON

There will be a second march in Durham this evening, Tuesday July 16th at
7pm, starting at the new Courthouse on Dillard St. close to the Durham
Jail in downtown.

On Sunday, along with dozens of other rallies and marches around the
country, a diverse crowd of hundreds of Durham residents rallied and took
the streets, marching to the jail, where they were met with prisoners
banging on their windows. In call and response, people screamed "Trayvon -
Martin" and "No Justice, No Peace! Fuck the Police!" Energy was high, and
folks were enthusiastic to continue the momentum.

Since that night, protests have continued around the country. Most
recently, crowds of hundreds and maybe thousands in Houston, TX and
Oakland, CA have taken over major freeways in their cities. The tactic has
piggybacked off of a similar takeover in LA on Sunday; a trend is
emerging.

As multiracial crowds around the country continue to gather, its become
clear that this struggle will not disappear, and that it is bigger than
just the racist exoneration of a single wannabe cop. This is about the
entire system of justice and control and policing, about how in this
country poor people's lives are considered basically worthless.

Please show up tonight at 7pm if you can. Spread the word by whatever
networks you can. The struggle lives on.
