Help Reverend Pinkney
In this repost of an e-mail that just arrived Cynthia McKinney asks for your support.
Friends!
Some of you know that I am on a tour of our country's heartland, visiting Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois. We received a tremendous reception in Benton Harbor, Michigan--a majority black community that is fighting for its survival against powerful corporate interests that want to own its pristine beachfront land.
Reverend Edward Pinkney has been a stallwart fighter for justice in the community and is leading its resistance to these powerful corporate interests. I went to Benton Harbor to support Reverend Pinkney and the people of Benton Harbor in their struggle for self-determination. At this meeting, it was clear that Reverend Pinkney had succeeded in bringing whites and blacks together in this fight for justice. And we know that powerful interests view that as a no-no.
Unfortunately, today, the day after our wonderful rally with the residents, Reverend Pinkney was picked up by the police for allegedly violating the terms of his parole to not make "inflammatory statements." Reverend Pinkney's remarks were published an article in a Chicago newspaper.
I am asking that you please write letters to the people below, asking for justice for Reverend Pinkney and the people of Benton Harbor. I know that our concerted work together will change things. Thank you for taking a stand.
