Black Friday Boycott over Ferguson to Coincide with Wal-Mart Strikes 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests spurred by the grand jury's decision not to indict Wilson are
set to continue with a national day of action planned for Black Friday,
the biggest consumer holiday of the year. Activists are organizing a
national boycott of retail venues and protests against police brutality.
The actions coincide with a wave of protests by Wal-Mart workers at more
than 1,600 stores across the country who are demanding a $15-an-hour
wage and the right to form a union. This year marks the third time in a
row Wal-Mart workers have gone on strike on Black Friday. Organizers say
it will be their biggest action to date.
