12558541, I think we should focus on Black Life Matters

Although we attack extra-judicial killings specifically it still leaves room to address senseless violence in the black community as well. That way trolls can't divert attention from the issue.

It also avoids the obama admin using it as an opportunity for their my brother's keeper program.

I was thinking it would be cool to have our advocates be the first in tents outside best buy and walmart and then talking about the agenda when media comes to interview.

I don't think the postponement works, if that happens retailers will just hold their collective breath. While it can be a minor talking point, putting it in the forefront is a derailment.

The seasonal jobs thing is an issue but I think the point is that we are all suffering already and if something isn't done we will continue to suffer. There has to be real consequences.
