Nov. 16-17 March, Rally in DC against Hate Crimes, Police Brutality
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - STOP HATE CRIMES AND POLICE BRUTALITY
Friends,
Starting with the murder of Sean Bell in New York earlier this year, to the mass mobilization for the Jena 6, to the rape and torture of Megan Williams in West Virginia, to the ruling that sided with the Juvenile Boot Camp Guards who killed Martin Lee Anderson in Florida, to the nooses appearing on University of Maryland's campus, at the Tupac Shakur center and throughout the country, to most recently the murder of 14 year-old DeOnte Rawlings in Washington, DC by an off duty police officer -- as a community we must say "Enough is Enough!"
On Friday, November 16th there will be a march around the Department of Justice, and the following day, on Saturday, November 17th there will be a rally and concert at the Washington Monument against Hate Crimes and Police Brutality.
This is a critical moment for us to rally in Washington, DC for our human and civil rights. Please get involved with the planning of these two events.
For Future Generations,
The Hip Hop Caucus Team
Spread the word: Major mobilization on November 17th at the Washington Monument for Peace and Justice
Rally and Concert starts at 12 noon
On Saturday, November 17th come out to a major rally and concert against Hate Crimes and Police Brutality at the Washington Monument in Washington, DC.
We plan to gather from noon until dark with speakers and performers in the Sylvan Theatre to continue the momentum of organized protest against the most recent cases of hate crimes, and racism in the criminal justice system.
