OCCUPY HARLEM MARCH & RALLY %middot AGAINST RACIST KILLINGS
FOR TRAYVON MARTIN & ALL THE TRAYONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY %middot END STOP & FRISK & RACIAL PROFILING %middot BUILD A UNITED FRONT AGAINST RACIST VIOLENCE Contact: Nellie Hester Bailey 646-812-5188
On Saturday, April 2st. at 1-2PM hundreds of demonstrators joined Occupy Harlem at 124th and 5th Avenue %hellip The assembly will then march throughout Central Harlem protesting racist killings, stop & frisk, and racial profiling. The march ended at 125th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd with a rally . The theme of the protest: %ldquoBuild A United Front Against Racist Violence,%rdquo highlights the killing of 17 year Trayvon Martin in Stanford, Florida by %ldquoStand Your Ground%rdquo self style vigilante George Zimmerman.
After a firestorm of national protest Zimmerman was eventually charged with 2nd degree murder that carries a maximum of life imprisonment.
Released on a low bond of only $150,000 despite prosecutor%rsquos request for a million dollar bail Zimmerman issued a self-serving apology to Martin%rsquos family that came fifty days after he shot the unarmed teenager. Zimmerman%rsquos contrition makes palatable public appeals for financial support especially from the far right.
The Martin case is only the tip of the iceberg. Across the US unarmed Black men, women and youth are killed, brutalized and harassed on a daily basis without redress or a modicum of expose from corporate media. In New York City, the center of international finance capital, the New York Police Dept. (NYPD) operates inside a systemic culture of brutality and violence with a wanton disregard for human life.
This %ldquoBlue Wall%rdquo of death deliberately targets people of color, especially Black and Latino youth. The executions of unarmed Ramarley Graham in the Bronx, and unarmed former marine Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. in White Plains adds to a long list of racist killings by NYPD going back to the 1973 police killing of 10 years old Clifford Glover - shot twice in the back by a plainclothes cop; the 1984 police murder of 66 year old Eleanor Bumpurs - blasted twice & killed by a 12 gauge shotgun; African immigrant Amadou Diallo killed in a hail of 41 shots in 1999, all fired by white police officers, all of whom were acquitted. Over 600,000 people have been stopped and frisked by NYPD, and the city made over 50,000s non-violent marijuana arrests. On the national level it%rsquos no better if you%rsquore Black, man or woman. In Chicago unarmed 22 year old Rekia Boyd shot in the head by intoxicated off duty cop.
Occupy Harlem supports a national campaign that calls for: (1) a national database that documents the killings of Black people by
police, security guards and self-appointed peacekeepers, (2) the President to create and institute a %ldquoNational Plan of Action for Racial Justice%rdquo to fulfill the governments obligations under the Convention to Eliminate all forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) by creating a permanent Inter-Agency Working Group to implement all of the aforementioned demands to protect Black and other historically oppressed groups from racial discrimination, targeted violence, and summary executions.
