DEFEND THE DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS
OF THE AFRICAN COMMUNITY!
On Wednesday, June 24 the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement and the Uhuru Solidarity Movement will be holding a demonstration in defense of the City Hall 2 and the tens of thousands of African men, women and children who are currently held captive by the City of Philadelphia prison system.
The struggle to defend the City Hall 2 is more than a struggle to defend Diop Olugbala and Shabaka Mnombatha. It is a struggle to expose the City of Philadelphia's war against the African community here.
The demonstration will start at 8am sharp at the West Side of City Hall, by the Clothespin at 15th & Market. All members and supporters are encouraged to wear their "Jail the Killer Cops" t-shirts as a sign of unity and militant resistance against the Philadelphia Criminal Justice System.
For more information on the Hands Off the City Hall 2 campaign go to UhuruNews.com or call 215-387-0919.
Uhuru Movement leaders attacked and arrested by the City for peacefully
protesting Nutter’s budget and Billion Dollar War on the black community!
• Diop Olugbala,(left), leader of the local branch of the Uhuru Movement,was put in a chokehold by police for peacefully speaking
out at a City Council session on the budget on March 19th, 2009.
• Diop and Shabaka Mnombatha were arrested and face trial for protesting Mayor Nutter's budget that raises the sales tax while
spending over $1 billion a year on police & prisons -- even as poverty and police violence & brutality escalate in the African community.
• On April 28th the Uhuru Movement won a victory when Judge Deni dropped the felony charges as the cops were exposed in the lies used by the State to cover up the attack on the City Hall 2.
• In a clear political attack on the Uhuru Movement and the right of African people to speak out in their interest,the State is attempting to reverse the April 28th ruling and reimpose the felony charges on Diop!
