Call for Solidarity: Only days to protect Vermont's culture of civil disobedience

[Jonathan Leavitt]

Occupy Burlington friends,

Want to preserve Burlington's unique culture of civil disobedience? Thursday September 27th is our last chance to come together as Vermonters and demand the independent investigation and accountability Burlington needs to heal its unique social fabric. Mayor Weinberger has let the Burlington Police investigate themselves as to whether shooting protesters performing civil disobedience on July 29th was justified. The report itself is marked by many factual errors and misrepresentation and a sheer lack of accountability that many feared would be the result of having an organization with such a vested interest investigate themselves. 

Thursday September 27th 6pm at #1 North Ave: This is our last chance to come together as Vermonters and demand the independent investigation and accountability. 

Full details https://www.facebook.com/events/422847604440069/ Please feel encouraged to RSVP and share widely

Based on the pro-forma process laid out by the police commission on August 28th, citizens, injured protesters and a City Councilor expressed a fear this would be allowed to "die in committee," without the independent investigation or meaningful accountability our community needs to heal: This is why we need September 27th to be huge.

Also, please take a second and sign this related petition which we will present to the police commission on the 27th. http://www.change.org/petitions/mayor-weinberger-burlington-city-council-burlington-police-commission-deliver-an-independent-investigation-and-meaningful-accountability

Solidarity,
