Trayvon Martin could have been any of us. Oscar Grant, Jarrel Gray, Daniel Vail — the state, the justice system and police have failed us.
Because of a #whitesupremacist culture, George Zimmerman will walk free and one more youth of color’s life will be cut short for nothing. Trayvon Martin will not be forgotten.
We are calling for a One Hundred Hoodie March in Downtown Frederick in remembrance of all victims of injustice, locally, nationally and internationally. Please bring a black hoodie, and come with friends and loved ones to remember people killed or forgotten by the state.
Meet up on the South End Park corner of Catoctin Ave. and Burke St.
Meet up at 8:30pm, leave at 9:15pm.
See you in the streets.

Come celebrate a year of Occupy in Frederick! On the anniversary of Occupy Frederick’s very first action we’re getting together with our friends and comrades to reflect on the ups and downs of the year’s activity, and to discuss the future of radical/progressive organizing in the community.
After the discussion we’ll switch to party mode with a potluck, music, and drinks for those of us of age.
All are welcome; organizers, allies, participants, supporters, and anyone interested in movements for social change/curious about organizing for social justice in Frederick are encouraged to attend (the more the merrier!).
