Join ColorOfChange, Organization for Black Struggle, and dozens of progressive organizations in front of the White House to deliver the signatures of nearly 850,000 people who have signed petitions calling for justice for Mike Brown, demanding full accountability for his death, and systemic changes to discriminatory policing nationwide.
The killing of Mike Brown by police has exposed the ongoing crisis of racially motivated police violence across the country. As we work toward #JusticeForMikeBrown we must also address the ongoing systemic problems of police practices in Black, brown, and all oppressed communities. We come together as diverse organizations to demand that President Obama ensures a rigorous investigation, prosecution, and firing of all officers involved in this tragic police killing, and that he shows the leadership necessary to stop police practices and resources which incentivize police brutality.
