The African People's Socialist Party and the Uhuru Solidarity Movement in Philadelphia call on all freedom loving people to:
• Join their demonstration on Monday, August 4 at NOON
• Participate in the "Uhuru Summer Against State Terror" campaign to stand up against the City's escalating attacks on the African community
• Join the Uhuru Solidarity Movement and the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement.
On Monday, August 4 at noon, a demonstration will be held at the D.A.'s Office at Juniper and Market, targeting District Attorney Lynne Abraham, who has handed out more death sentences to African people than any other D.A. in the United States.
The Philadelphia D.A.'s office has refused to bring murder charges against the police who murdered Abede Isaac who was a party-goer shot through a wall by police at a New Year's p arty this January 1st, and Timothy Goode, shot in the back by police, the grand-nephew of Wilson Goode Sr. who dropped the bomb on the MOVE organization and murdered eleven African children, women and men on May 14th 1985. Then-judge Lynne Abraham issued the false warrants that facilitated that murderous attack on the African community of Philadelphia.
"The African community in Philadelphia faces the highest imprisonment and poverty rates in the U.S., and we recognize that these conditions are imposed by the U.S. government and carried out daily by the Nutter administration, " says African People's Socialist Party Northeast Regional Outreach Director Ajamu Bandele.
Alison Hoehne, Chair of the African People's Solidarity Committee in Philadelphia says,
"We are calling for action and for the white community to speak out against the escalation of attacks against the black community in Philadelphia and around the country. We believe the real violence, and the real crime is the brutal conditions imposed by the City government on black and Puerto Rican communities including:
• Police murders of 22 people in 2006 alone – no police have been prosecuted
• 50% of black men in Philadelphia are unemployed
• Students in Philadelphia schools were under-funded by $4972 per student in 2006, while Lower Merion students were over-funded by $5146
• Only18% of Philadelphians have college degrees, and up to 50% of those in city jails were unemployed when arrested
• Over 40% of Philadelphians live below the poverty level
• Join their demonstration on Monday, August 4 at NOON
• Participate in the "Uhuru Summer Against State Terror" campaign to stand up against the City's escalating attacks on the African community
• Join the Uhuru Solidarity Movement and the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement.
