The fight for Justice Or Else is here and now!
CHICAGO - As anticipation, steely determination and focus by activists, organizers and communities around the country intensifies in the preparation and planning for “Justice Or Else!”, the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March, supporters of the movement argue the increased racial animus and antagonistic climate particularly toward Black Americans necessitates October’s gathering.

On 10.10.15, Blacks, Latinos, Indigenous, Native Americans and other disenfranchised communities will converge on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., united in a universal demand for equal justice and to articulate their grievances before the most powerful nation in the world.
