DESCRIPTION:Free the Jena 6! Free Mychal Bell!\nJoin the Protest at the New Federal 
 Building\n \nOn Sept. 20, tens of thousands of people marched in Jena, La. 
 to demand immediate freedom for Mychal Bell and the Jena 6. The case of the 
 Jena 6 has garnered international attention, and shone a spotlight on the 
 racist nature of this country's criminal "injustice" system. \n\nAlthough 
 the message of the Sept. 20 protest was broadcast far and wide, just one 
 day later, a Louisiana judge delivered another outrage. Mychal Bell, 17, 
 was denied bail while awaiting an appeal of his recently overturned adult 
 conviction.\n\nBell and the other five young men that make up the "Jena 6" 
 were charged with crimes ranging from assault to attempted murder. Bell, 
 the first convicted, recently had his case overturned by a court ruling 
 that he had been improperly tried as an adult. His hopes of freedom, 
 however, have been dashed yet again. It will only be the mobilization of 
 the people that will win justice for Mychal Bell and the Jena 6.\n\nIt is 
 time to turn up the heat. The Sept. 20 protest in Jena has to be replicated 
 over and over across the country until the Six are free. The ANSWER 
 Coalition is joining with the hundreds of other groups calling for the 
 freedom of the Jena 6 and Mychal Bell. We are demanding that all the 
 charges be dropped!\n\nOn Tuesday, Oct. 2nd, people in the Bay Area will 
 stage an important demonstration in front of the new Federal Building in 
 coordination with demonstrations in Washington DC at the Justice Department 
 and in other cities. The civil rights of Mychal Bell and all of the Jena 6 
 have been grossly violated. Mychal Bell's continued imprisonment is a 
 flagrant miscarriage of justice.\n\n"All those in the Washington DC area 
 who believe in justice should be in front of the Justice Department on Oct. 
 2nd at 5pm. Injustice of this magnitude cannot be tolerated. Join with the 
 ANSWER Coalition and other community organizations to Free Mychal Bell and 
 end the persecution of all of the Jena 6."\n-- Eugene Puryear, Howard 
 University student and ANSWER organizer\n\nVisit www.ANSWERSF.org to
