MILLION MOMS MARCH IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

 
 
May 7, 2015 (Washington, D.C.) - On May 9th Black mothers from across the United States will converge on Washington, DC to demand an end to the murder of unarmed husbands, sons and more frequently their daughters by police terror and white vigilantes. The Department of Justice has forfeited its legitimacy by exonerating the killers of unarmed Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown providing the perfect storm for a war against Black and Brown people in this country. Frederick Douglas said: I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my leg.  We are coming to Washington, DC to pray with our feet and demand an end to the killings of our children.
