Statewide March Against Police Brutality
Sunday, July 21, 1pm PT
On July 21, on the one-year anniversary of the murder of Manuel Diaz, nearly 30 families of those murdered by police are leading a statewide march in Anaheim to demand justice for their loved ones and all victims of police violence. ANSWER SF is organizing a bus bringing activists and community members from Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento to participate in the demonstration.

For those unable to attend, the ANSWER Coalition will be maintaining a live video feed of the demonstration that can be accessed on our website. Streaming will begin on Sunday, July 21 at around 1pm Pacific.
 
One year ago this July 21, Anaheim police murdered Manuel Diaz while
he was surrendering and following police orders. He was shot in the head in
front of his community. In response to the outrageous (and common) murder,
community members began peaceful gathering outside their homes. The Anaheim
police responded with extreme violence, unleashing attack dogs and shooting
life-threatening munitions on babies, small children, elderly and everybody in
range.
The video of the cowardly attack was quickly seen by
millions worldwide, sparking emergency protests at the Anaheim Police
Headquarters. The next day, the Anaheim police murdered Joel Acevedo, further
stoking the anger in the community. In the following days, thousands of people
rose up against the scourge of police violence. Historic protests shook Anaheim
for days. Though ultimately the city heavily militarized the police to repress
the movement with violence and intimidation, it brought the struggle against
police brutality to a national stage and laid the foundations for future
struggle.
The recent acquittal of George Zimmerman, a vigilante who
aspired to become a cop, by the racist court system is yet another tragic
reminder of the importance of fighting back against the war on Black and Brown
youth.
