BLACK AND BROWN LIVES MATTER, at home and abroad!

[Andy Thayer]

On International Human Rights Day --

BLACK AND BROWN LIVES MATTER, at home and abroad!!

 

The police violence against Eric Garner, Michael Brown and countless others is the domestic version of systemic U.S. violence against other peoples of the world.

 

The same country that makes it so dangerous for black people to exercise their constitutional rights at home, carries out deprivations of rights abroad on an industrial scale.

 

For every "successful" targeting of an alleged terrorist by U.S. drone bombings, an additional 28 unknown people die. U.S. troops occupy over 150 countries around the world, and a military budget greater than that of the next eight countries combined?

 

On Wednesday, December 10th – International Human Rights Day – please join us as we say 'NO MORE!'

 

NO MORE U.S. gov't violence at home and abroad!

NO MORE U.S. bombings and invasions of other countries!

NO MORE U.S. support to sectarian and oppressive regimes!

NO MORE U.S. support for coups overthrowing elected governments!

NO MORE U.S. arms exports to the region!
