Staffers Walk Out Of Congress In Protest Over Brown And Garner Cases : The Two-Way : NPR

So cool.  It's really neat that the other groups, who are also disportionately affected, joined in: Congressional Black Associates, Congressional Asian Pacific American Staff Association and the Congressional Hispanic Staff Association.

Staffers Walk Out Of Congress In Protest Over Brown And Garner Cases : The Two-Way : NPR: "Dozens of congressional staff members walked out of the Capitol at 3:30 p.m. ET Thursday, in a show of support for protesters angered by recent grand jury decisions not to indict police officers in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Wearing suits, ties and overcoats, the staffers stood several rows deep on the steps of Capitol Hill before making the hands-up gesture that has come to symbolize frustration with the deaths of the two unarmed black men at the hands of police. They stood silently with their arms raised for a moment before disbanding and walking down the steps.

While the event was spearheaded by the Congressional Black Associates, it also drew other staff members, including the Congressional Asian Pacific American Staff Association and the Congressional Hispanic Staff Association, according to CNN."
