D. O. A. A.P. B. A. T. C. O. A.G.

Days of Action Against Police Brutality and the Criminalization of Youth for the acronym impaired like myself. October 22nd and 23rd every year we put on an action to stand in solidarity with thousands of groups around the nation and the world. October 22nd is the national Day of Action, we add the 23rd in remembrance of Chris Burgess a young man criminalized by the system at age 10 and murdered by the police just a few short years later on October 23rd. With the help of many dedicated volunteers we held an action lasting 36 hours, serving hundreds of meals, covering almost every neighborhood in Eureka at one point in time. We had a live concert in Carson park as we dined on wonderful vegan vittles by candle light under the grape arbor.

Days Of Action

I took part in the National Days of Action Against Police Brutality and the Criminalization of a Generation.

We began at Sunrise on Monday by remembering those killed by the police here in the county of Humboldt. It was shocking to see how many graves the fascists have filled.

We gathered at the Gazebo in Old Town. Food, Music and fellowship followed. Baked blue potatoes and broccoli were on the menu in the rain.

The rain intensified and so did our resolve.

We moved in the rain to EPD and Angie told the bastards what we thought of them.

From there we marched on city hall and I ran my big mouth for a bit.

In Eureka we marched to Cesar Chavez park to have a meal and dry off a bit under a huge tarp our comrade Jack rigged up. We lit candles and feasted. We sang to our favorite "Granny". Martha celebrated her birthday with us with a delicious vegan cake.

In Eureka we call it the days of action and march through the city to remember Chris Burgess, a young man shot down by the EPD on the 23rd of October. In the morning we served breakfast at city hall.

We ended our Action with a little food at Highland Park and parted with this chant.
