Enough is Enough! A March of Stolen Lives

On Tuesday, January 27, a press conference was held at the Fruitvale BART station—the site of Oscar Grant’s murder, to announce a March of Stolen Lives in Oakland on Friday, February 6. In announcing the demonstration organizers said, “There is a nationwide epidemic of police brutality and murder being unleashed upon our people by the whole system that rules over us. In the time that we are told the society is now “post-racial”—these killings are overwhelmingly, but not exclusively, against young people of color. And the numbers of stolen lives are on the rise. WE SAY “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM IS GUILTY!”

A statement to the people of Oakland and the Bay Area from Cornelius Hall, the father of Jerrold Hall, an unarmed Black man shot in the back by BART police officer Fred Crabtree in 1992, was read at the press conference: “Stay focused. Do not relent until justice has been served. I sit here looking at my son’s skateboard which has a sticker that reads ‘SILENCE IS THE VOICE OF COMPLICITY.’ You have not been silent. You have not been silent and have demanded that those who work for you give you respect and JUSTICE.”

"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these ‘outmodeds,’ you end up strengthening both."

Bob Avakian, Chairman of the RCP,USA From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
