DESCRIPTION:Trayvon Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, has been charged with second 
 degree murder, but that is no guarantee that justice will be done. We saw 
 the officer who killed Oscar Grant in cold blood walk away with just two 
 years in jail. Meanwhile, millions of young African American and Latino men 
 are profiled, arrested and sentenced to decades in prison everyday. It is 
 time to take a stand against what Michelle Alexander calls the New Jim 
 Crow.\n\nCome participate in a community meeting to discuss Trayvon's case 
 and how we can keep the pressure up to make sure Zimmerman doesn't walk 
 away with a slap on the wrist. We will also discuss a strategy to build 
 alliances aimed at renewing a civil rights movement that can challenge 
 racism in housing, education, health, employment and the criminal justice 
 system.\n\nSpeakers include:\n\nAhmed Shawki, editor of International 
 Socialist Review and author of Black Liberation and Socialism.\n\nDeBray 
 "Fly Benzo" Carpenter, Bayview-Hunters Point resistance leader, emcee and 
 City College student who is currently campaigning against trumped up 
 misdemeanor charges. Fly Benzo could face probation to three years in 
 county jail. His sentencing hearing is April 20th.\n\nDionne Smith, mother 
 of James Rivera Jr., an innocent teenager brutally murdered by Stockton 
 police on July 22, 2010, the day before his 17th birthday.\n\nArchbishop 
 Franzo King, pastor, Church of St. John Coltrane African Orthodox Church. 
 Archbishop King is also a foreclosure fighter, a member of Alliance of 
 Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) and a longtime Bayview 
 resident.\n\nReception with refreshments to follow.\n\nHosted by the 
 International Socialist Organization.\n
