Milwaukee vigil for Michael Brown

By staff

Protest planned for Nov. 25

Milwaukee WI – Dozens of people gathered on Nov. 24 at Red Arrow Park, downtown Milwaukee, anticipating the failure to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the murder of Michael Brown. Activists decorated a nearby park Christmas tree with posters in support of victims of police violence. Red Arrow Park is the site of the killing of African American youth Dontre Hamilton by a Milwaukee Police Officer earlier this year.

Organizers, including the mother of Dontre Hamilton, spoke to the media and supporters about the need to have justice for all the victims of police violence.

A larger demonstration is planned for Nov. 25, also at Red Arrow Park, at 5:00 p.m. to protest the failure to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. All are encouraged to attend.
