Calling all freedom fighters! Come in freedom fighters! Today marks the 2-month anniversary of Mike Browns murder. In less than 24 hours, I head back to Ferguson for the Weekend of Resistance - to document. Ten thousand people are expected. Last night, an unarmed 18-year old Black man was shot dead by a St. Louis police officer, just as we were wrapping up the launch of the Virtual Freedom School call. The VFS call was awesomely inspiring, by the way. Its hard to say how I feel. Alarmed by the everyday violence police enact against us. Excited by our commitment to protesting, dismantling, rebirthing. Determined to do my part. I need your help raising $300 by 7pm EST - TODAY - to cover equipment rental and travel expenses. Stretch goal is $1450 by 11:59pm EST on 10/10/14, which will bring me to my $2500 funding goal. Please re-post the Spotlight on Ferguson campaign liberally. If youve already donated, consider donating again. If youre unable to do so, please re-post and sing our praises. #SpotlightOnFerguson #Justice4MikeBrown #BlackLivesMatter vimeo/104673086 igg.me/at/dontshoot Virtual Freedom School.
