Join us

in calling for the release of
OSCAR LOPEZ RIVERA
Friday, May 29, 2015
Market & Powell St., SF
5:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M.

The San Francisco Support Committee for the unconditional release of Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera, calls all political, civic, religious, labor unions and the community in general to join us to demand his freedom.

Oscar López Rivera has spent thirty four years of his life imprisoned due to his unbending commitment for the independence and self-determination of our Puerto Rican nation.

Petitions from all over the globe supporting his unconditional release have been sent to the President of the United States from Nobel Prize Laureates such as Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa, and Carlos Esquivel from Argentina to name a few.

The current Governor of Puerto Rico, Alejandro Garcia Padilla, as well as countless Puerto Rican artists and celebrities, and U.S. Congressional representatives, such as Luis Gutiérrez, José Serrano and Nydia Velázquez, have also made their voices heard in support of his immediate and unconditional release.

Add your voice!

We’re standing together on November 10 to say, “We need a raise!” People across the country will be standing up with fast-food workers and all 64 million underpaid workers making less than $15, because it’s time for $15 for all workers. Together we’re turning the tide in favor of working people and our families. And we’ll need everyone’s help — including yours — to make this a reality.

RSVP here to receive email updates: http://fightfor15.org/s-petition/november-10-rsvp/

We’ll call on corporate CEO’s to raise pay and respect our right to form unions without retaliation. Andf we’ll call on our elected representatives to stop letting the wealthy and powerful write the rules in their favor.

Together we can work to end racism and oppression, create a path to citizenship for immigrants, and fight for wages that strengthen our communities.
