What: Justice for Steven Taylor Court Support
When: Thursday, February 16 at 9am
Where: Alameda County Superior Courthouse, 1225 Fallon St, Oakland
Steven Taylor was a Black man who was shot and killed in a Walmart while in a mental health crisis on April 18, 2020 by San Leandro police officer Jason Fletcher. His grandmother Addie Kitchen has been leading the fight for justice ever since.
Later Jason Fletcher became the first officer to be charged by former Alameda County DA O’Malley (with involuntary manslaughter). Almost three years later, the trial is finally set to begin in the coming months. This is the first case in which AB 392 (the CA use of force law) will be applied. Tomorrow, February 16th, the court will finally be setting the stage for the trial by appointing a judge, setting dates, and more.
Please join the family of Steven Taylor to support them as the trial against Jason Fletcher begins.

When: Thursday, February 16 at 12pm

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a former Black Panther and revolutionary journalist who was framed for killing a police officer and has been in prison in Pennsylvania for 41 years. Organizers, activists, community members, and friends and family of Mumia will speak on the ongoing legal struggle he faces and the importance of labor solidarity with political prisoners.
