Join us as we stand up against the police repression of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Sacramento police have outrageously charged a young black woman for lynching. The police and county DA falsely claim that ANSWER Coalition activist Maile Hampton is guilty of obstructing justice and removing a person from police custody. In fact its the police who are guilty of obstructing justice, in this case and historically. These charges against Maile are in reality “revenge” charges against leading activists of the Black Lives Matter movement. We in the ANSWER Coalition, along with a wide network of endorsing organizations, are mobilizing to fight back against this police repression.
1. We DEMAND that the “revenge charges” against Maile are immediately dropped!
2. We DEMAND an end to the repression of the Black Lives Matter movement!
3. We DEMAND an end to police brutality and the war against black and brown youth!
**************************
We will be combing this with another action where we will be demanding justice for all of the youth that have been victims of police terror. This police terror everywhere, has got to stop.
From Tamir Rice, 12 years old shot and killed immediately by Cleveland Pd for having a toy gun.
To Jessie Hernandez 16 years old, shot and killed by Denver PD while simply sitting in the backseat of a “stolen” car.
To Andy Lopez 13 years old shot by Santa Rosa PD for having a toy gun.
To Aiyana Stanley-Jones 7 years old shot in her home by Detroit PD during a nighttime raid.
And many, many more victims,
We DEMAND accountability, we DEMAND justice. We refuse to sit by and watch police officers around the world continue to kill our children in the name of capitalism. We know that justice won’t simply be handed to us, we have to demand it.
**************************
Please join us Sunday March 1st with your signs, banners, pictures of the victims if you can, and loud voices!
*Please note that depending on circumstances, we may march so bring your walking shoes*
“When our youth are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP FIGHT BACK.”
