#DayofRage is in honor of Sandra Bland. We, the people of the Bay Area, and the United State of Amerika need to stand up and fight the racist, and militant police force that controls us. Its time for us to stand up for our rights and make our voices heard.

We do not want to cause any more violence than we are already accustomed to, but we do need to raise hell. We need to stick up for our brothers and sisters nation wide. We need full police reform. We need your help. Please find time in your busy lives to make a difference. We need voices and bodies from all walks of life, after all, we are in this together. Please spread the word, and invite friends, family, coworkers, etc. We need this senseless violence to stop. Bring noise makers, loud speakers, anything to catch the attention of the masses. How many more deaths will it take for change to happen? Why wait, lets make it happen now.

Remember, if you are reading this, then you ARE the RESISTANCE.

RIP Sandra Bland. Another senseless murder for the fail to use a turning signal.

§Ground work? Grassroots organizing?

I really hope the organizers of this are doing some serious groundwork now, if it was not done prior to announcing this as it should have been (to test support before making a public call-out).

Telephone trees, fliering, word of mouth. Get commitments from 10-20 people, at least, agreements that they'll each reach out to 5-10 people, and so forth. Then you might have decent numbers for an action such as this.

Otherwise, just making a random call-out, that won't do it and you'll be wasting the time of anyone who does bother to show up to another non-event downtown.

Another aspect of proper preparation is planning, gaming out various scenarios with experienced folks. It's helpful if there is some kind of realistic plan for the event, rather than wandering around the streets aimlessly until people get bored with yelling at cops and go home.
