DESCRIPTION:"Libation to Liberation: Community, Safety, Defense and Justice" On Oscar 
 Grant's Birthday\n\nThursday, February 27th, 6-9pm\nSJSU Engineering 
 Building, Room 285-87\n\nThis day #2 of a two part program scheduled to 
 takes place both on the anniversary of the death of Trayvon Martin 
 (February 26th), and the birthday of Oscar Grant (February 27th).\n\nDay 
 One (Feb 26th) - Is a film showing of "Fruitvale Station" and Q&A with the 
 family at MLK Library, 6-9 pm.\n\nDay Two - (Feb 27th) Is Libation to 
 Liberation Community, Safety, Defense and Justice, SJSU Engineering 
 Building Room 285-87, 6-9 pm.\n\nTypically libation is just a moment at the 
 beginning of a program, a bit of ceremony and then we move on. This entire 
 program is to be a libation. With the families opening up and honoring 
 their lost, but also telling talking about the work they've been doing, and 
 the best part, the part where all of us get down to what still needs to be 
 done. This is an interactive encounter, not your typical audience recipient 
 lecture or panel. As such the beginning of the program is for the families 
 who have lost loved ones. Each will be taking three minutes to tell us 
 about their loved ones and then speak to the work they're doing, have done. 
 Why only 3 minutes you may ask, this is why:\n\nThe Invitees and Attendees 
 Are: \n\nEmmett Till's Family\nOscar Grant Grant's Family\nKerry Baxter's 
 Family\nMario Romero's Family\nJames Rivera's Family\nGregory Johnson's 
 Family\nAlan Blueford's Family\nDonovan Jackson's Family\nAndy Lopez's 
 Family\nJose Calderon's Family\n\nAnd likely many more, as more and more 
 are adding on daily...\n\nIf yourself or someone you know has last some one 
 please come, this is for you, if they have been harassed, harmed, 
 brutalized or murdered by the police this program is for you...\n\nWe're 
 doing movement building here, not just some getting to know you banter but 
 actual organizing...\n\nThe time, is now... together we can perhaps figure 
 out what is to be done next, where we can go, we'll be providing for a 
 facilitated brainstorming, as well as have snacks, beverages spoken word, 
 and hip hop....\n\nThis programs constitutes the first in a series of 
 similar gatherings that will be happening in an ongoing basis not just here 
 in San Jose, but throughout the bay area.\n\nIf you are interested in 
 tabling (all tabling welcome if its in line with the theme, and you will 
 not be allowed to interfere or table during the actual program only before 
 and after, your price for tabling is your participation as simple as that), 
 either way contact us...\n\nIf you have questions or have a family looking 
 to get on the Libation list (it really is their program) please call or 
 contact us at, we will get back to you ASAP:\n\nemail:
