“‘they had every right to have whatever was on their signs and whatever came out of their mouths is our first amendment right,’ Julie Ballard explained. ‘I don’t really care if the #police were cursed at. The reaction was not appropriate for what happened’”

We showed up peacefully. We used our voices. And we were met with arrests.
3 of our people were taken yesterday and we want them back. This is exactly why we show up for each other.
Bail has been set. Freedom now depends on community.

*everybody's back!*

Today in Labor History: March 28, 1968: Martin Luther King led a march of striking sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee. Police attacked the workers with mace and sticks. A 16-year old boy was shot. 280 workers were arrested. He was assassinated a few days later after speaking to the striking workers. The sanitation workers were mostly black. They worked for starvation wages under plantation like conditions, generally under racist white bosses. Workers could be fired for being one minute late or for talking back, and they got no breaks. Organizing escalated in the early 1960s and reached its peak in February, 1968, when two workers were crushed to death in the back of a garbage truck.
