Fountain Square (5th and Vine)
Downtown Cincinnati
We are a coalition of organizations and individuals who are
organizing for three days of education and peaceful protest to demand
justice in Cincinnati from the police department and the city
government. We will have a series of educational events and peaceful
protests on June 1 - 3, with a mass, legal, peaceful
march for justice on June 2 at the center of these events. We invite
the residents of Cincinnati and people from around the country to come
to Cincinnati to protest the killing of Timothy Thomas.
The March for Justice calls on the city to:
Stop police
killings and the abuse of police power.
End the police
department\'s racist patterns and practices.
Build social and
economic justice.
We invite all who agree with the protest and the goals to join us
in this effort. Check back soon for details about the event.
If you would like to endorse the march or participate in the
planning of this event, please email us at MFJ@che-2000.org
or call us at (513) 588-8883.

justice in Cincinnati, see Citybeat\'s "Unrest
in Cincinnati" archives.
