The #Ferguson rebellion and ongoing protests and organizing are as important an event as #OccupyWallSt. Ferguson has brought racism, class and police brutality -- all lived, tangible and systemic experiences - together. This articulation of struggle is significant, and if the moment becomes a movement it can bring empire and the 1% to their knees. Ferguson also affirms the shifts in the way we organize and struggle, and the visuality of our protests and street and media tactics. It shares many affinities with Occupy. Most importantly, Ferguson is about liberation and involves both resistance and building. For the rally on Saturday, #Breakaway folks returned from Ferguson angry and inspired. They are organizing their first rally - #Bedstuy2Ferguson - with the above thoughts in the mix. We are happy to support them and join in their struggle because we know our struggles are connected and our liberation is collective or it is non-existent. #Bedstuy2Ferguson
