New York, November 28 (RHC)-- Protests spurred by the grand jury’s decision not to indict Wilson are set to continue with a national day of action taking place for Black Friday, the biggest consumer holiday of the year. Activists have organized 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.
