The Baltimore Rebellion: Revolt Against an American Nightmare

"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society... And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard." - Martin Luther King, Jr. It turned out to be Baltimore. The police murder of Black, brown and poor people has not stopped despite the Black Lives Matter movement--if anything, instead it has accelerated. An escalation of resistance was due, and now it has begun. Oakland has its own contribution to make to the struggle. Join us in discussing the way forward.
