Today: Protest miscarraige of justice in Sean Bell murder

Sean Bell, Nicole [Paultry] Bell
and their baby
COPS ACQUITTED ON ALL COUNTS IN THE MURDER OF SEAN BELL

RALLY TODAY,

5:30 PM

Queens DA's Office, 125-01 Queens Blvd. (bt Hoover Ave and 82nd Ave.)
(E or F train to Union Turnpike.)

Once again the justice system has failed to protect the rights of people of color. A message is once more sent that law enforcement officers can act with impunity. Sean Bell joins a tragic list of those victimized by police, who have been denied justice. The names sound through history like drumbeats in a funeral procession: Amadou Diallo, Patrick Dorismond, Eleanor Bumpers, Alberta Spruill, Ousmane Zongo, and on and on and on.

As United for Peace and JUSTICE, we must always respond to injustice. We must affirm that all human life is worthy, that injustice must always be confronted. That is why we urge everyone who can to come out to the protest rally today.
