There have been blockades on West Florissant Street for days; journalists have been cleared from the area, and we’ve been kept from full access to protestors at times. Throughout all of this, we’ve been in awe of the power and resilience of community organizers on the ground who have refused to have their fundamental human rights restricted, and have dedicated themselves to sharing Mike Brown’s story and to demanding change. <br><br>Now is the time for us to join in raising concerns about race and policing, and the impact of militarization on the fundamental right to peacefully assemble.
