From Columbia's campus to Venezuela to Minneapolis, authoritarian violence takes many forms, but serves the same purpose: protecting power at any cost. The murder of Renee Nicole Good is a reminder that militarization always turns inward. What starts as "security" ends in death, repression, and silence.
If you are interested in joining a peaceful march to demand a free future, a group of Columbians will be meeting at 12:30pm SUNDAY Jan 11 in the northwest quadrant of Pulitzer Plaza (59th St. & 5th Ave., across the street from the Plaza hotel.) The march begins at 1pm. Wear your most comfortable walking shoes and bring a homemade sign!!!!
