Spreading the Strike: Solidarity Actions Across North America for September 9Th MacLauchlin, Scott A - DOC From: Kemper, Paul S - DOC <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 19, 2016 8:59 AM To: Boughton, Gary A - DOC; Eckstein, Scott M - DOC; Haines, Tim F - DOC; Richardson, Reed A - DOC Subject: RE: Informational Article - Potential Action on 09/09/16 I was planning on sending this out to all my staff for their awareness.

Already, a wide range of actions have taken place in the run up to the strike. This includes large scale flyering and street propaganda campaigns, banner drops, noise demonstrations outside of jails and detention facilities, and informational events. All of this activity helps to build the capacity of the strike to bring in more people who can take an active role, as well as spread information about the struggle being waged by prisoners on the inside. These actions also bring many organizations, crews, and individuals together that before have previously never worked side by side and helps expose white supremacy as both a system of social control and racial apartheid and an apparatus of management that facilitates the creation of billions of dollars of profits. In order to better prepare for the strike, here we are going to create a regularly updated page that includes a diary of actions and a list of events and mobilizations leading up to and around the 9th. We know that many events are still in the works, so when you are ready, either submit an event here or email us at: info[at]itsgoingdown[dot]org. In this way, we hope to build a large, multi-faceted, and extremely diverse resistance movement that can support and expand the strike against prison slavery that will continue to take shape on September 9th and beyond.

  • Factors Leading to Civil Unrest in the Wake of Police Lethal Use of Force Incidents
    CALIFORNIA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY Riverside, California Factors Leading to Civil Unrest in the Wake of Police Lethal Use of Force Incidents: A Tale of Two Cities A Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Public Administration George Richard Austin, Jr. Division of Online and Professional Studies Department of Public Administration April 2019 Factors Leading to Civil Unrest in the Wake of Police Lethal Use of Force Incidents: A Tale of Two Cities Copyright © 2019 by George Richard Austin, Jr. ii ABSTRACT Factors Leading to Civil Unrest in the Wake of Police Lethal Use of Force Incidents: A Tale of Two Cities by George Richard Austin, Jr. Since August 9, 2014, the day Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown in the small city of Ferguson, Missouri, large-scale protests after police-involved lethal use of force incidents have become much more prevalent. While there is much academic and public debate on why civil unrest occurs after these unfortunate incidents, there is very little scholarly literature that explores the structure of civil unrest events or literature that attempts to explain why and how peaceful protests turn violent. This dissertation, through exploratory content analysis of extensive after-action reports, provides insight into two instances of civil unrest in the wake of officer-involved lethal use of force incidents: the Minneapolis, Minnesota, civil unrest in the aftermath of the November 15, 2015 shooting of Jamar Clark and the Charlotte, North Carolina, civil unrest in the wake of the September 16, 2016, shooting of Keith Lamont Scott. The study examines the phenomenon of civil unrest from the theoretical frameworks of representative bureaucracy and rational crime theory and utilizes a case study comparison and content analysis research design.

Civil Action No. ______________ City of Minneapolis, Minneapolis Chief of Police JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Medaria Arradondo in his individual and official capacity; Minneapolis Police Lieutenant Robert Kroll, in his individual and official capacity; COMPLAINT Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington, in his individual and official capacity; Minnesota State Patrol Colonel Matthew Langer, in his individual and official capacity; and John Does 1-2, in their individual and official capacities, Defendants. For their Complaint, Plaintiffs state and allege as follows: INTRODUCTION The right to assemble is fundamental, as is the right to speak out against injustice. These rights are enshrined in our Constitution. Ideas and movements that changed the course of our history came to the forefront of the American consciousness through assembly and protest. Law enforcement too often has been on the wrong side of history, attempting to suppress the right of the people to assemble. This freedom cannot be suppressed and it must be protected at all costs. Minnesota is no exception. Historically, law enforcement in Minneapolis specifically, and Minnesota more generally, have attempted to suppress the right of its citizens to assemble peacefully. Recently, they have been and are actively suppressing this right by exercising CASE 0:20-cv-01645 Document 1 Filed 07/28/20 Page 2 of 32 unnecessary and excessive force against protesters who gathered to express their outrage at the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department.

  • Islam As Their Religion
    Summer 2016 “...a path from where we are to where we should be.” - Peter Maurin Living fait h living fait h under fire Why This Issue? We are back! It has been a while since our issue on “hope” came out, and we are so excited to share this next issue with you. It has been several months in the making, and we hope it will show! We are so thankful for our writers and all of their though ulness and insight into the topic of this issue. Discrimina on against Muslims in America is certainly not new. Since 9/11 in par cular, Muslim people and communi es have been the target of countless hate crimes. Muslim people are o en discriminated against in their workplaces and schools, are treated with a high level of skep cism, and are expected to account for the ac vi es of violent extremists who claim Islam as their religion. The yoke falls heavier on Muslims in America. So many non-Muslim Americans equate groups such as ISIL with Islam in general without recognizing that extremist, militant fac ons do not represent the religion as a whole. For Chris ans in par cular, it should be noted that the Ku Klux Klan was and is made up primarily of people who iden fy as Chris an. Yet, Chris ans as a whole are not equated with this group nor are they expected to prove their dissocia on or disapproval of this group. At this me in par cular, we feel that it is important to elevate the voices of Muslim people who are speaking out against an - Muslim rhetoric and Islamophobia is our country.
