Ferguson, MO organizers Dhoruba Toure Shakur & Sixela Yoccm were interviewed by Ted Forsyth of Rochester Indymedia on Thursday, October 23, 2014.

Ferguson organizers interviewed

Shakur and Yoccm came here to share their experiences with the Rochester community. The night before we sat down, the two were introduced by community activists and organizers Ricardo Adams and Yusef Bunchy Shakur to a packed house at the Flying Squirrel Community Space. "They think it's a game, they think it's a joke!" would be the first of three speaking engagements in Rochester before the two headed back to Ferguson.

 

Up to the point of coming to Rochester, both organizers had been on the streets of Ferguson for over 70 days organizing with Tribe X and the Freedom Fighters since the murder of Mike Brown by officer Darren Wilson.

 

The music in the interview video is "212°" by Jasiri X (Produced by Soy Sos).

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
Our home is still the Flying Squirrel Community Space at 285 Clarissa St. Occasionally, we hold meetings at RCTV located at 21 Gorham Street.
