Recap:
Last Wednesday’s #EndPoliceAssociations Rally, Week 150, Dr. Melina Abdullah gave a heartfelt framing on the significance of Kwanzaa to Black culture as we honored the day of Self-Determination: Kujichagulia. We also reflected on the thousands that came together on the busiest shopping day of the year to shut it down for Black liberation and a #FreePalestine. The families of #JamesMincey, #SkyYoung / #JohnathanHart and #JuanCorrea were present to share the humanity of their loved ones as we renewed our determination to remove police associations from the County Federation of Labor.
