On August 27, 2015, hundreds packed the First Corinthian Baptist Church (FCBC) in Harlem, New York City. There was a kick-in-the-gut, kick-in-the-heart intensity in the air, as a crowd—a majority Black people but many others as well—gathered for a program sponsored by the Stop Mass Incarceration Network to hear Carl Dix, Dr. Cornel West, ‘Stolen Lives’ families, Gina Belafonte and others speak to What We Must Do to STOP Police Murder and Terror—Get Ready for #RiseUpOctober: Massive Mobilization to Stop Police Terror & Murder, October 22-24 in NYC.

A slow genocide is still a genocide. I wouldn’t even say the genocide against Black, Latino and Native communities is slow. The murder of one person snuffs out a whole future family tree.
