 [machine translation]

On August 9 in Ferguson Missouri State, Michael Brown, a black 18 year old, was killed by 
police despite being unarmed, and raise his hands when he was arrested. Brown was on his 
way to visit his grandmother with a friend, police stopped when they walked down the 
street. The encounter escalated when Brown resisted arrest, and enter into the police car. 
As they tried to escape, police shot a young repeatedly until he Brown. His friend, Dorian 
Johnson, said that the police continued to fire even after the return is give with your 
hands. ---- In the days that followed, a crowd of people gathered to protest where Brown 
was killed, and the demonstration lasted several parts of the city during the weekend. 
Today August 16, the governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon ordered a state of emergency and 
implemented a curfew in the city of Ferguson to curb demonstrations against the murder of 
the young. Being criticized in the same time it is presented to the press, where the cry 
of "We want justice" was heard. Until recent times, the protesters claimed not to respect 
the curfew.

Through the popular reactions to the press has misrepresented the facts, noting that the 
demonstrations slave / as representing a danger to society. This effort of the authorities 
and the media manipulate events, is to remove the legitimacy of the so-called "end 
violence against young black / as", and surveillance of their communities, which are 
explained in large part by historical legacy of racism in the USA Similarly, it is silence 
the voices of the most marginalized, who under direct people, has had the potential to 
increase political divisions of the American working class. It is clear that this wave of 
protests reflects the daily struggles that have peaked at this point. Several protesters 
cities have shown their solidarity by raising hands, referring to the gesture of innocence 
of Michael Brown before he was killed, and black / as generally living daily the hardest 
blows of neoliberalism: poor housing, cuts welfare budgets and public education, increased 
police presence, the growth of prisons, low wages, among others. All this represents a 
problem: a system that despite having changed its form, continues to exploit, marginalize 
and oppress.

The question we face today is how the protests of black communities can develop into a 
larger project, to recover their neighborhoods, protect their children and daughters, 
police expel and eliminate the historical roots of white supremacy. In the process, the 
question arises; How can we build and strengthen social organizations to combat violence 
in the state, which by the way, encourage the development of popular power? We must build 
a movement that can survive and grow beyond this time we live in, returning power to the 
hands of the people.

Mike Brown lives, the struggle continues!
