Vigil Today For Eric Gardner
and All Victims of Police Brutality
Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza, 5pm

          In response to the NYC grand jury’s failure to indict the police officers responsible for the murder of Eric Garner, there will be  a candlelight vigil Sunday, 5PM at Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza.
          Organizers will provide candles and lighters, but depending on the turnout we may not have enough, so if you have any at your disposal, feel free to bring them! If you would like to make your own signs and bring them, that would be great too! “Black Lives Matter” is a great one. Also, bring umbrellas and dress warm and waterproof in case it rains! Hope to see you all there and we ask that you all share this event with EVERYBODY you can, ALL people are welcome.
