2020 has been a lesson in the profound power of the people in struggle.
In August 2019, when the Aurora Police Department in Colorado killed Elijah McClain, they truly thought they could get away with it with no consequences. Aurora District Attorney Dave Young summarily declined to file any charges against the killer cops. APD didn’t even take them off the job. The city aided in blocking the McClain family from receiving any remittances. All of this despite the torture and killing of Elijah McClain at the hands of their own officers that was captured on camera.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation was part of a small core that fought with the McClain family for justice from day one, and this laid the groundwork for the movement that took shape this summer. But the reality is that without a mass movement, APD would have gotten away with it. Now, APD has had to learn that they don’t get to kill members of our community without consequence.
