WAYS TO SUPPORT FERGUSON
SUPPORT FROM WHERE YOU ARE
WE NEED SUPPORT AROUND THE WORLD. HERE ARE WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
-
Host a STUDENT WALKOUT
-
Contact the Department of Justice, President Obama, Governor Nixon, and key decision makers.
- Keep this story alive on your twitter, Facebook, and instagram feed. And continue to use the hashtags #handsup & #handsupwalkout.
- Collect stories of police brutality in your community and share it in our story bank.
- Create art for this moment. And then share it with us.
TRAVEL TO FERGUSON
We are grateful for medics, attorneys, organizers of color, and other people who have come to Ferguson. The value many of you added has been immense.
The murder of Mike Brown has been a national call to action. We have been gratified to see how many folks from around the country have reached out to help. We are trying our best to contact everyone who has filled out our forms. HandsUp United is busy planning actions that will need a lot of support. We know that police brutality, racial profiling, and militarization of the police are rampant coast to coast, so we encourage everyone to organize against police violence in your own communities. Thank you all so much!
