DESCRIPTION:Solidarity from the Bay to Tennessee!\n\nTyre Nichols was beaten to death 
 by five police gang unit officers in Memphis, TN, following a traffic stop 
 that never should have happened. As the nation braces for the body cam 
 footage to be released, the Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP) is calling 
 for rolling protests from Tennessee to the Bay.\n\nAPTP will hold a rally 
 and march on Sunday, January 29 at 5 pm to stand in solidarity with the 
 family of Tyre Nichols and to demand an end to police doing traffic 
 enforcement in every US city.\n\nWhat: From the Bay to Tennessee: Justice 
 for Tyre Nichols!\nWhen: Sunday, January 29, 5pm\nWhere: Oscar Grant Plaza 
 (14th & Broadway), Oakland\n**Note: This action will center Black folks 
 standing for Black lives. Allies and accomplices welcome.**\n \nIn the 
 first days of 2023, the Los Angeles Police Department murdered three people 
 in a span of two days. One of those stolen lives was school teacher Keenan 
 Anderson whose fatal engagement with law enforcement began with a traffic 
 stop.\n\nHere in Oakland, Black people are eight times more likely to be 
 stopped by law enforcement than their white counterparts. Despite orders 
 from a federal monitor and a statewide task force dedicated to ending 
 racial profiling, OPD can’t seem to stop targeting Black community 
 members with pretextual stops.\n\nWe demand police out of traffic 
 enforcement and an end to police terror, period!\n\nDemands of the 
 Family:\n\n• Release the body cam footage\n• Charge the officers\n• 
 Name all officers and public personnel that were on the scene\n• Release 
 the officers' files\n\nMemphis Community Demands:\n\n• Pass the Data 
 Transparency ordinance\n• End the use of pretextual traffic stops\n• 
 End the use of unmarked cars and plainclothes officers\n• Dissolve the 
 SCORPIAN, OCU & MGU — end the use of task forces\n• Remove police from 
 traffic enforcement entirely\n\nWe take the streets in Oakland because a 
 loss of Black life anywhere is an affront to the humanity and safety of 
 Black lives everywhere. The violence that stole the life of Tyre Nichols in 
 Tennessee is sadly a daily occurance in America. Traffic stops are the 
 primary way Black people both enter the criminal legal system and serve as 
 the igniting factor for daily and deadly acts of violence against our 
 bodies. It is beyond time to remove badges and guns from traffic stops and 
 tickets, and protect Black life.\n\nSee you in the streets.\n
