History

Establishment

Hands Up United rose to prominence when it joined with other organizations to publicly demand the resignation of Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson and mayor James Knowles III. They also called for the recusal of county prosecutor McCulloch. It has coordinated and been involved in large-scale protests in the St. Louis area.

In response to the killing of Michael Brown and related unrest, the organization issued a set of eleven demands for local and national leaders including: the immediate release of jailed protesters, the identification and suspension of officers accused of using excessive force, and a demand that President Obama visit Ferguson. Local demands were stated on behalf of local organizations such as the Organization for Black Struggle and Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment while national demands were developed by organizations such as Color of Change, Freedom Side, and Dream Defenders.
