Yesterday afternoon, the People’s Organization for Progress held a press conference on the steps of Plainfield City Hall in support of the Million People’s March, which will convene over one hundred organizations on Saturday, July 25th in downtown Newark. Learn more about the mobilization at POP’s website or the march’s Facebook page.
At yesterday’s press conference, POP Chairman Larry Hamm, POP Plainfield Chairman Steven Hatcher, and Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report spoke along with several members of the our community. Understanding how much Plainfield View readers appreciate organization, I gave each speaker their own video.
The struggle continues.
I am looking forward to seeing allies and comrades there! “The MILLION PEOPLE’S MARCH Against Police Brutality, Racial Injustice, And Economic Inequality, happens Saturday, JULY 25, 2015,12 Noon, at the Lincoln Monument, near intersection of West Market Street & Springfield Avenue, Newark, New Jersey.
