DESCRIPTION:One year after the historic arrest of BART cop Johannes Mehserle, the 
 triggerman who killed Oscar Grant III on New Year’s morning of 2009, 
 organizer and journalist Minister of Information JR and activist and punk 
 rock artist Holly Works are still facing charges from the Oakland 
 Rebellions that secured his indictment.\n\nCome out on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 
 the anniversary of Mehserle’s arrest, and learn what’s going on in the 
 movement against police terrorism. This fundraiser for JR and Holly, the 
 remaining members of the Oakland 100, is being held on the anniversary of 
 Mehserle’s arrest. Everyone is invited to the legendary Black Dot Café, 
 1195 Pine St. in West Oakland at 7 p.m.\n\nHear\n\n    * Cynthia McKinney, 
 former congresswoman and presidential candidate who will be the narrator 
 for the film “Operation Small Axe”;\n    * Jack Bryson, father of two 
 sons who were with Oscar Grant the night he was executed;\n    * Minister 
 of Information JR, one of the two remaining members of the Oakland 100, 
 POCC organizer, and journalist with Block Report Radio and the SF Bay View 
 newspaper; and\n    * Holly Works, one of the two remaining Oakland 100, 
 activist and political punk rock artist.\n\nWatch a screening of the new 
 15-minute short of the upcoming film, “Operation Small Axe,” about 
 Oakland’s fight against police terrorism in 2009. The film has just been 
 chosen to be screened in the prestigious Pan African Film Festival in Los 
 Angeles in February.\n\nDonations of $10 to $1,000 are requested, but no 
 one will be turned away for lack of funds. Funds are needed for JR and 
 Holly’s legal defense and to replace JR’s camera. Oakland police seized 
 it when he was arrested while covering the rebellion as a journalist and, 
 though he needs it to support his family, they still have not returned 
 it.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/01/07/18634627.php
