Leaders with the Charlotte Uprising have called for a national day of action today, the two-week anniversary of Keith Lamont Scott’s killing by a CMPD officer, from similar organizations across the country. Actions are already planned in Baltimore; Chicago; Detroit; New York City; Washington D.C. and Roanoke, Virginia.  

In Charlotte, organizers will gather in Marshall Park at 7 p.m. The event page states, “Led by Black, queer and trans organizers and accomplices, the Charlotte Uprising has tirelessly inspired people to resist state violence and dream of new possibilities beyond the current conditions we live in. Freedom fighters in Charlotte are now calling on freedom fighters everywhere to host coordinated actions on Tuesday, October 4, which will mark two weeks since Keith’s murder.”
