Please join ACTIVIST SAN DIEGO, United Against Police Terror - San Diego with the Coalition Against Police Violence for the #4MILEMARCH The goal of every 4 Mile March in each city is the same: to bring awareness to the national epidemic of racial profiling and police violence, and to honor all the lives lost as a result. With each step, we will put pressure on the government to mandate laws that will hold police accountable for every illegal act they commit when violating the civil rights of not only American citizens, but every human being with whom they interact. The 4 Mile March will take place on Monday, January 19, 2015, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in multiple cities nationwide. Why march on this day? There is no question that Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for justice and equality. We believe that he would fight for police reform and the right for fair treatment of all human beings if he were alive today. By marching on his Observance Day, we seek to both honor the legacy of Dr. King, and to remind the nation that the fight for justice and equality is far from over! In ever increasing numbers, unarmed men, women and children are shot to death, beaten and wrongfully treated by police. Whether it is because of the perception of fear of a certain ethnicity, their socioeconomic status, or because of mis-communication between police and civilians—police accountability is absolutely necessary for prevention and law enforcement reform. How will the march take place? Each city participating in a 4 mile march on Monday, January 19, 2015—Dr. Kings holiday. Each person will march in remembrance of an innocent or unarmed person killed by police to put pressure on local and federal government.
