DESCRIPTION:     October 22nd Coalition Meeting- to plan for Bay Area protest in San 
 Jose on October 22nd,     10th National Day of Protest  Sept 18th Sunday  
 5pm sharp  San Jose Peace Center  48 South 7th Street  San Jose, CA  
 (408)295-4424        We are finalizing plans for October 22nd National Day 
 of Protest for San Jose.   This meeting will finalize speakers, culture, 
 outreach and press work.  The trial of Walker is coming up soon, and we 
 need to mobilize the whole bay area to this trial.  The Cardenas family 
 will update their case,and other family members their cases.      Check out 
 the national call/leaflet for October 22nd----it highlights "In the last 2 
 years since Cau Bich Tran( a young Vietnamese mother of two) was killed 
 while holding a vegetable peeler, there have been about a dozen police 
 involved killings in the San Jose area alone.  Rudy Cardenas was one of 
 those stolen lives and the state drug agent Walker who shot him in the back 
 is going to trial for manslaughter in September." The Call for a National 
 Day of Protest:  
 (http://www.bayarea1022.org/files/Call%20for%20NDP%202005.pdf)     The 
 Cardenas family, Ayala family, Frank Rosenberg, Mesha, Elvira Pollard all 
 spoke at the Chicano Moratorium.  And all the families have been actively 
 speaking out at many events in the Bay Area.      A lot has happened since 
 the last October 22nd Coalition meeting---and it  shows just how important 
 October 22nd's work is.  Steven Fountain, a local web developer, was 
 tasered and then fatally shot five times last week in Campbell, CA. And on 
 9/10-05  a 17year old black youth,SFPD shooting of Tyrell Taylor was shot 
 by SFPD  on Harbor Road.  We brought the Stolen Lives Walls to the Power to 
 the Peaceful concert  this past Saturday, and thousands of people got an 
 eyeful.  Their eyes  were riveted on the lists of people who've died at the 
 hands of law  enforcement-- and these names were nearly all from the 
 1990's!  Unfortunately we could fill many more panels with the stolen lives 
 names.  From the local police to the national guard, to thousands of people 
 trapped for days in the  Superdome and the Convention Center, it's clear 
 that the priority in New Orleans has been more protection of property than 
 care of people.  The people are being treated like cattle and forced out of 
 the city at gunpoint.  New Orleans is not a relief zone, New Orleans has 
 been turned into a martial law zone, which a top general compared to 
 Somalia. The news is heavily censored---we know that five people were shot 
 by police a week and a half ago in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane 
 Katrina.  The outright brutality must be stopped--Rescue, Not Repression!!! 
      October 22nd is the day when people all over the country come together 
 to STOP police violence, repression, and the criminalization of a 
 generation.  In cities across the country we raise a  resounding NO to 
 their steadily increasing moves towards a police state. \n
