In 1936, hundreds of men and women took over GM plants and occupied them for 45 days, and their actions beat the corporation and was the beginning of the middle class. When the local police were sent in to break the strike and force the protesters out, President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent in the National Guard….not to end the strike, but to force the police to back off and to protect the protesters from violence and police brutality.
We, the citizens of the United States of America, are demanding that the National Guard be sent in to Ferguson to once again protect protesters from police brutality.
