Rally Against Racist Policing with SCARP!

On the way to the wake, more than 30 of us African American and Latinos
students were arrested, detained overnight without food, and charged with
disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly - for no reason other than the
racist policies of the NYPD. Some of the students in our group who had
actually made it to the wake, were pulled out of the wake by the NYPD and
detained as part of this attack on us.

In response, we have become politicized and active and have formed the
Student Coalition Against Racial Profiling to combat the brutality,
disrespect, and blatant racism of the NY Police Department towards
communities of color.

OUR DEMANDS

1. The city drop the charges against us young people immediately.
2. A public apology from the Police Department.
3. That Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly commit to
continued dialog with our community about police misconduct and racial
profiling.
4. The 83rd Precinct publicly identifies and removes the police
officers involvedin this incident.
5. The right to mourn with dignity! Those arrested were never able to
properly mourn our friend. Help us create a community memorial for him
that expresses our desire to stop community violence and to live with
justice, peace, and respect.
