Hi All,
March 15 is "International Day Against Police Brutality". On Saturday, March 15, 2003, the Haitian Coalition for Justice, the October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation and the Stolen Lives Project are joining forces to put together the third Stolen Lives Induction Ceremony. It is an event to honor the families of people killed by law enforcement.
Join us at the House of the Lord Church located at 415 Atlantic Avenue (between Bond and Nevins Streets) at 5pm Sharp for this major event.
***********
March 16, 2003, will mark the 3rd anniversary of the murder of Patrick Dorismond by New York Police Department (NYPD) cop Anthony Vasquez. That same month in 2000 4 other young black males were murdered by the NYPD. On the other hand, March 2000 also saw the formation of the Haitian Coalition for Justice, a grassroots community organization committed to fight uncompromisingly against police brutality and for social justice.
In this spirit we invite you join us at a community forum on Sunday, March 16, 2003, to commemorate 3 years of mourning but also to celebrate 3 years of struggle. The event will be held at 6PM at PS 399 located at 2707 Albemarle Rd. (corner of Rogers Ave. and Albemarle Rd.) in Brooklyn, NY. The parents of many victims of police violence will be present and we will be showing the documentary film "Justifiable Homicide" which shows the police murder of Anthony Rosario and Hilton Vega and the complicity of then Mayor Guiliani and then Police Commissioner Bratton in the shocking cover-up which ensued. We will have music and poetry of struggle for your entertainment and time will be set aside for audience participation.
Hope to see you there!
