National march & rally
AUGUST 28 • WASHINGTON, DC
lincoln memorial 11am — 7pm
Scores of the impacted families of men and women slain by police across the country, and their supporters — are building a national rally and march in Washington D.C. on August 28, 2021. This event coincides with the 58th anniversary of the original march on Washington. The overlapping date is meaningful because one of the most powerful expressions of the modern-day movement for civil rights is the anti-police brutality struggle.
Millions of people mobilizing in the streets helped bring about the conviction of ex-cop Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, but most impacted families — despite damning evidence against cop aggressors — remain in legal limbo, face not guilty verdicts, hung juries or cases that have never made it to trial.
Momentum is gathering as growing numbers of people recognize the nationwide reality of the cover-up operations, outright lying and criminalization of the victims carried out by police departments, courts and media outlets in city after city. We are building a giant contingent of families and their supporters from across the country to converge at the nation's capital to specifically demand: "Reopen the cases!" and "prosecute killer cops." The purpose of the event is to keep the pressure on everyone responsible for the lack of prosecutions, investigations and jailings and to inspire and encourage new participation in local efforts everywhere to help families achieve their demands.
Join the contingent! Help get us all prepared with the documents below including:
Endorsing Organizations: Mass Action Against Police Brutality, West Wednesdays, Every Case Matters, Cincinnati Anti-Police Brutality Coalition, Ohio Families Unite Against Police Brutality
