There are protests for George Floyd in 140 US cities & in several international cities, including Berlin, Copenhagen, Milan, London, Addis Ababa, Beijing, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Auckland, Paris, Dublin, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Perth, Jerusalem, Krakow.
The men here are Syrian artists Aziz Asmar & Anis Hamdoun, participants in the Syrian Arab Spring who painted this mural in tribute to George Floyd on the ruins of a bombed out building in Idlib. They inscribed the words, ‘I can’t breath’ & ‘No to racism’.
Stand with George Floyd. Stand with the Syrian Arab Spring.

Trump called the George Floyd protesters ‘terrorists’. That’s because they’re mostly Black & as a true son of the Ku Klux Klan, he hates Blacks. Just like he thinks all Mexicans are rapists & criminals & all Muslims are terrorists. We’re paying the orange moronavirus for those kinds of white supremacist opinions. In a sane society, he would be medicated, under lockdown, & in therapy for the criminally deranged.

Israeli & Palestinian peace activists waving the Palestinian flag protested in the West Bank on January 15, 2016 by using cardboard cutouts to depict the apartheid wall. Kashmiri Dar Aaqib adapted a photo of the protest to the Kashmiri freedom struggle & tweeted it today.

Today we honor the memory of 21-year-old Qaiser Amin Bhat who on June 1st, 2018 was run over & killed by an Indian Army armored vehicle at a protest outside Jamia Masjid in Srinagar. Two other protesters were also run over by armored cars & sustained injuries. Earlier, on May 5, 2018, Adil Ahmad Yadoo was crushed to death by a police armored vehicle in Srinagar. There has been no accountability by the police & army for these crimes. “I can’t breath” is the anthem of the oppressed.
Stand with Kashmiris & demand the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all Indian forces from Kashmir. May Qaiser Amin Bhat & Adil Ahmad Yadoo Rest In Peace.

In a video of the George Floyd protests in NYC, a police officer pulled down the corona mask of a Black protester with his hands up & pepper sprayed him in the face. At the protests in front of the White House, there is all out street fighting between Secret Service agents & protesters. If Trump could, he would bring out federal troops to crush this new movement. Our commitment is to drive back his initiatives with a massive, international protest movement in defense of the civil, democratic, & human rights of Blacks.
“Suddenly so many people in India have become peace activists, after inciting & rationalizing violence against children of a lesser God.”
