We will gather in upscale Westwood at 7 PM for a run around Los Angeles' more exclusive neighborhood. This is in response to a sensationally racist media narrative that:
- suggests a specific and pernicious danger posed by black bodies running through streets
- employs racist dog-whistles like "mob" and "wilding" in order to trigger white panic
- exaggerates the instances of physical violence - eliciting fears of the 1992 rebellion, the myths surrounding
provocateur Reginald Denny, and has ensured the introduction to Crenshaw of more pigs, who are the number one threat to people of color and the model George Zimmerman himself emulated when he gunned down Trayvon Martin
- glorifies the violent practices of the LAPD's Chief Beck and his uniformed thugs even in the face of peaceful public demonstrations in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sunday and Monday
*** Note: This event is consciously ableist, although all participation is welcomed. Many intend to wear comfortable running attire and will run at whatever speed they are comfortable with. In the event of police violence, the fun run might quickly cease being 'family friendly,' but we trust your judgment to make decisions within your own family formations.
WE WILL NOT HAVE PEACE POLICE OR ANY OTHER COERCIVE ELEMENTS IN OUR FUN RUN!
