DESCRIPTION:In front of dozens of witnesses, and captured on video, BART cop Johannes 
 Mehserle shot 22 year old Oscar Grant III while he was lying face down on 
 the platform of the Fruitvale BART station in the early morning of January 
 1.\n\nThere have been protests of police shootings in the recent past, but 
 none have matched the scale and effectiveness of those surrounding the 
 shooting of Oscar Grant. In the face of this movement, growing in both size 
 and anger, officer Mehserle was arrested on January 13th. But with Mehserle 
 now out on bail, the fight for justice continues.\n\nWhat will the impact 
 of having our first Black president have on the outrageous history of 
 police brutality in this country? The criminal justice system is an 
 ideological and economic crisis. In this new political period we can 
 organize with the confidence that we can make change and win justice for 
 Oscar Grant and countless others who have been brutalized by this 
 system.\n\nCome to a forum on how we can win justice for Oscar and build a 
 new Civil Rights Movement.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nKeeanga Yamahtta-Taylor, author 
 of the forthcoming New Orleans: An American Travesty.\n\nDana Blanchard, 
 organizer with Campaign to End the Death Penalty and Coalition Against 
 Police Execution (CAPE).\n\nWednesday, March 25th at 7:00pm\n110 Capp 
 Street\nSan Francisco, CA\n\nThis meeting will also take place the 
 preceding week at San Francisco State University, Santa Cruz, and 
 Berkeley.\n\nSponsored by Haymarket Books.\n
