White People Take a Stand Against War on the African Community!

by Wendy (uhurureparations [at] yahoo.com)
Join the African People's Solidarity Committee and make your voice heard for justice and economic development for African people!
Attend Tonight’s Community Meeting
at 7pm, Wednesday, October 1st at the
Uhuru House, 7911 MacArthur Blvd in
Oakland to plan upcoming actions.
Featuring Chairman Omali Yeshitela of the African People’s Socialist Party and Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People’s Solidarity Committee.
Call 510-295-7834

The African People’s Solidarity Committee condemns the jury’s acquittal of the “Oakland Riders” who were charged with making false arrests, filling out false police reports, and for harassing and brutalizing African people in West Oakland.
Meanwhile, Oakland Police Department is receiving assistance from Alameda County Sheriffs and the California Highway Patrol to conduct “sweeps” and blatant racial profiling throughout the African community of East Oakland.

These are the policies that put one in ten black men in prison in the name of fighting the “war on crime” and the “war on drugs.” While the majority of the drug use and the control of the drug trade is in white community, we do not experience these types of sweeps and attacks on our community. Yet, white people support these policies which brutalize and attack the African community in the name of “public safety.”
These attacks on the African community must end today! The African People’s Solidarity Committee is calling on white people to take a stand and to support the struggle of the African community for justice, economic development and reparations for these crimes!

Call Wendy at 510-295-7834 for more info or for transportation to the meeting.
The African People’s Solidarity Committee works under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party to build a movement of white people’s reparations to the African community!
