Question 2: The connection of Cesar Chavez and the way pay gap

2. What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different?

This connects with Cesar Chavez when the growers would get more money then the farmers like men get more money then women. In the article (Tavaana) ”On top of that, grape pickers were paid an average of 90 cents per hour, plus ten per baskets picked, placing their families well below the poverty line" In other words this demonstrates that Cesar Chavez when the growers would get more money then the farmers like men get more money then women and thats how they both connects because of women getting low salary and men getting just like Cesar Chavez the growers get a lot salary and the farm workers get low salary.

Question 1: Oppressors and Resistors in the Gender Pay Gap

1. Who are the oppressors and resistors in this movement?
The women are trying to make men and equal payments for all the world. Women get lower salary at every job and men are getting higher salaries. According to the women make 87% of what men make. Women are posting around that says “women and men equal payment” and doing speeches to stop giving women low salary. The event demonstrates oppression and resistance because the women are trying to stop the low salary for women. The resistance was not effective at all bringing change because it still will not stop the low salary for women


The oppressors are the employers of women who are getting low salary.
In the article (gender pay gap) by (citation bot), “In the United States, the gender pay gap has not changed in the past decade with women earning around 78% of men.”
employees are are getting half the money of what the men are getting.
This demonstrates that the employers are the oppressors because… they don’t give the women half of the money that men get.

The Resistors are the women are trying to stop the gender pay gap by walking around with posters and speeches for women and men equal payments.
The employer declare to give more cents to the women.
The employers don't want to give extra money to the money.
This demonstrates that the women are resisting the gender pay gap because... they are doing non-violence towards the employer.

While in the U.S. the gender pay gap has increased for men and decreased for women. The women are resisting by posting walking around speeches tours the world. In the U.S. women are getting low salary and the men are getting high salary women are resisting by walking around with posters and speeching for the whole world can hear that women are getting low salaries.

Question 4: Impact to Community

Question 4: Why is this movement important? What impact does it have on our community or society as a whole?
The movement was important because Freddie Gray died from the abuse of the police this impacts the community because they know that racism is still going on. In “We Failed To Get Freddie Gray timely Medical Care After He Was Arrested” , Elisha Fieldstadt says “According to the city an officer made an eye contact with gray and he took off runnining so they pursued him” . This means that Freddie Gray did not receive any medical attention or wasn't buckled into a seat belt in a police van. This is relevant because it shows how much they don't care about one person who is black.

In the situation of Freddie Gray what are the resistors going to do in the oppression of Baltimore is reak havoc around the city to find answers and justice. In the event of Freddie Gray happened on April when he was abused by the police and not getting medical care or the seat belt which led to his death. The death of gray happened because the police were racist towards Freddie.

Question 3: Resisting to Oppression was Effective

Question 3: Do you think that the way the resistors responded to oppression was effective? Why or why not?
I think the resisting was not effective to the response of the oppression in Freddie Gray’s death because it caused a lot of violence and destruction in the city of Baltimore. In “Nonviolence as Compliance” , Parsley says, “Rioting broke out on Monday in Baltimore an angry response to the death of Freddie Gray a death my native city seems powerless to explain Gray did not die mysteriously in some back alley and yet the mayor of that city and the Commissioner of that city police still have no idea what happened” . This means that the people in Baltimore responded in a violent protest and the government seem like they did not have anything to do with the killing of Freddie Gray. This is relevant because the angry protestors were causing trouble in the city while the government did nothing. The protestors and the cities government could have resulted in having a peaceful riot

Question 2: The Connection and Justice Movement of Freddie Gray

Question 2: What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different?

The death of Freddie Gray is similar to Martin Luther King because they both protested . In the article “Heres What Martin Luther King Jr. Really Thoughts About Urban Riots” , Alice Gross says , “I just want to you to hear you say there should be peaceful protest not violent protest in the tradition of Martin Luther King “. This means that the protest in Freddie Gray's death was violent while Martin Luther King was peaceful. This demonstrates that Freddie Gray and Martin Luther King have a connection because they both show that Freddie Gray and Martin Luther King protested except that Freddie Grays was violent and not Martin Luther King protest.

Question 1: Oppressors and resistors of Freddie Gray

Question 1: Who are the oppressors and resistors in this movement?
On April 12 2015 in Baltimore Freddie Gray's death has caused a lot of people to protest. The death of Freddie Gray happened in Baltimore when the police abused him he violently ended up dying a week later by not having a seatbelt in a police van by moving around while having the spinal cord injury. it is said that he was in a coma with no medical treatment . The event in Baltimore is considered a social justice movement because it shows that the black community is having a bad relationship with the police force due to being racist towards the black men.

The oppressor of the death of Freddie Gray are the police and the resistors are the protestors of the black community. In “Rough Rides and The Challenges of Improving Police Culture” , David A. Graham says, “Citizens have accused police of using aggressive driving to rough suspects up for decades in jurisdiction across the country “ .This,means that over the years police have been repeatedly abusing people. This is important because police are aggressively injuring many people. In ”The Mysterious Death of Freddie Gray” , David A. Graham says “Black men are dying at the hands of the police is of course nothing new but the nation is now paying attention and getting outraged “. This is saying that the black community is angry with the police for killing black men. This is relevant because the police are getting the attention of the black community for killing one of their own.

question 4; Movement Of Society

4. Why is this movement important? What impact does it have on our community or society as a whole? (1-2 paragraphs)
This movement is important because we want to stop the violence,  police brutality just because black lives matter. In the article according to Rebecca Reber she says, "Consistently Psychologist have found the students more likely to shoot the unarmed black person over an unarmed white person.’’ In other words, police are scared of black people because they think their going to harm them and whites would not. This demonstrates what happened to Michael Brown was unfair because according to Rebecca they would not have killed him if he was white. This proves racism is not over in are because police keep killing blacks.
