Protests spread one week after grand jury fails to indict Ferguson police officer for teen's death.
Demonstrations were planned to start at exactly 1:01 p.m. EST, the same time that Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9.
From the #ShutItDown actions that have blocked major highways and intersections to the #BlackoutBlackFriday
protests,the message is clear: No more business as usual. We can no
longer do what we have always done and cooperate with a system that does
not respect Black Lives. We will only get the change we want if we
disrupt the daily order and insists that Black Lives Matter
