Milwaukee, March 4: Youth Action Soundoff
We are not waiting around for the DOJ to make spaces for our youth to sound off about their expeirences with MPD and what they need from future leadership.
We are interested in providing a space for youth to come out and engage with other youth, community leadership, and organizations about what their needs are and what their experiences have been with MPD. We think it is VERY important that their voices are heard by the DOJ in regarding to the MPD investigiation.
If you’re interested in helping to organize this event for our youth please contact us at thecoalitionforjustice@gmail.com.
We look forward to hearing from folks and we look forward to hearing from our youth in a SOUNDOFF.
UPCOMING: April 30, 2016 Dontre Day!

Considering that there will be much more legal and community-based organizing work ahead, the Rasmea Defense Committee is asking for continued financial support.“Rasmea and we are celebrating our victory today, and are thankful for the work of our great lawyers and the thousands of people across the U.S. and the world who have stood with her,” said Lara Kiswani of the committee’s Bay Area chapter. “And besides fundraising, we want everyone to continue to organize educational events, like our International Women’s Day celebrations honoring Rasmea in San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities.”
