A Message from Chuck D: "May 22nd... Take it to the Streets!"




Full details [via The World Can't Wait]:

THURSDAY - MAY 22
ALL DAY IN SCHOOLS EVERYWHERE

TAKE IT TO THE STREETS
4 PM ASSEMBLE: RUFUS KING PARK- JAMAICA AVE & 150TH ST


When the Judge lets the cops who murdered Sean Bell walk free, the system says to us:
50 shots at unarmed Black youth is no crime!
When the police brutalize or murder Black and Latino people the victims, not the cops, get disrespected and treated as criminals in court!
The police can kill again and again and again and we just have to learn to accept it.
We say Enough! This must stop! Justice for Sean Bell!

On May 22 many, many high school students and other youth need to say to the world:
We Refuse to Accept the Future this System Says We Must Accept!
We refuse to accept the murder of Sean Bell and a system that says his life and ours don’t count!
We count and we will make our own future!
MAKE THIS THE TOPIC FOR THE DAY: IN SCHOOL, IN THE STREETS
THURSDAY, MAY 22

Hundreds of young people have taken to the streets in Queens to protest this verdict. Many, many older people from all over NYC, and from different walks of life and nationalities must join the youth.

May 22: Wear Black! Take it to the Street! Count!
ALL EYES ON US!
