"Water Got No Enemy" ~ by The Peace Poets

Posted 10 years ago on Jan. 20, 2014, 5:58 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt (1) from Plainfield, NJ

This song demands an end to the criminalization of our communities-- from racist policies like #StopAndFrisk to the violence of mass incarceration.

Awesome! Power to the People! And, a great reminder of why we post on this forum, or at least, why I do - for the masses of people who have rights but who maybe don't have a voice. Thanks for giving them a voice through art, which is very powerful. Very nice.

Stop & frisk had become the enemy

"Let America Be America Again by Langston Hughes

Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)"

A new uncompromising movement against NYPD's notorious Stop & Frisk program began yesterday as hundreds of demonstrators marched from the Harlem State Office Building to Harlem’s 28th precinct. At the station, Cornel West, author and Princeton professor, Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Rev. Stephen Phelps, interim senior minister of Riverside Church, and dozens of others were arrested in an act of non-violent civil disobedience. Among those arrested and protesting was a large contingent from downtown’s Occupy Wall Street.
