DESCRIPTION:Speakers include:\n\nDenika Chatman- Kenneth Harding Jr. 
 Foundation\n\nDebray "Fly Benzo" Carpenter- Bayview Hunters Point community 
 activist\n\nShanell Williams- Associated Students president, City College 
 San Francisco\n\nDerron Thweatt- International Socialist 
 Organization\n\nCome to this meeting to talk about how we can build a 
 movement to stop this extension of the New Jim Crow from coming to San 
 Francisco.\n\nNo sooner had the Center for Constitutional rights published 
 its damning report of New York's racist Stop and Frisk program than Mayor 
 Lee declared that he wants to bring it to San Francisco. Lee denies that it 
 is a racist policy - but the facts cannot be avoided: 685,724 people were 
 stopped in NYC in 2011, 84% were Black or Latino - although they make up 
 only about 52% of the city's population. 88% of all stops did not result in 
 an arrest or a summons. This daily attack on people of color in New York 
 fueled a march of thousands in NY against this racist onslaught. \n\nThe 
 fight-back against Stop and Frisk in San Francisco is building too. Why is 
 Mayor Lee so intent, in his words, to "get the guns"? The new tech boom 
 means more gentrification, increasing rents, and a rise in the cost of 
 living. There has been more than a 50% drop in the city's black population 
 since the 90s. This city is becoming a place for people with money as the 
 rest of us are being forced out. Fighting Stop & Frisk is an important step 
 in declaring that people of color and the working class of San Francisco 
 have a right to live here! \n
