Milwaukee, July 13, 2020: Justice For Joel Acevedo!
WHAT: A rally at the Milwaukee County Court House (901 N. 9th St., Milwaukee) followed by a 2-mile march (ETA 50 mins) to the Joel Acevedo mural at S. 6th St. and W. Greenfield Ave.
WHEN: Meet at the Courthouse by 4PM.
WHY: Michael Mattioli, the Milwaukee police officer who killed Joel Acevedo by applying a 10-minute chokehold, will have another court appearance that afternoon. The videos from the first officers on the murder scene have still not been released. Nor has the tape of the 911 call. Justice for Joel Acevedo requires the release of these items and the dismissal of Mattioli from the Milwaukee Police Department.
WHO: Speakers will include members of the Acevedo family along, Attorney Benjamin Crump, Attorney B’Ivory LaMarr, Christine Neumann-Ortiz from Voces de la Frontera, and Liz Brown from Justice Wisconsin.
Crump is the nationally-known attorney representing the family of George Floyd and other victims of police violence who has recently joined the Acevedo case.

Oppose U.S. Attorney Blader’s Attempt to Intimidate Madison Activists Demanding Black Liberation! No Grand Juries!
NOW is the time to take the streets. Bring your vehicle or bicycle for a short car caravan.
US Attorney Scott Blader has subpoenaed two witnesses, Liya Brown and Jacob Capps, for a federal grand jury tomorrow. Grand juries are a tactic of repression used against activists ranging from the Black Panthers to the Standing Rock water protectors. We must ALL turn out to condemn US Attorney Blader’s tactic of intimidation to repress Madison activists demanding Black liberation!
Prosecutors use federal grand juries to decide whether or not to pursue federal criminal charges. Federal grand juries are not trials. They are run by prosecutors, who control all the evidence presented. There is no judge.
The overwhelming majority (more than 99%) of cases presented to a grand jury end with an indictment. Grand juries have a long history of targeting political dissenters, activists, and groups who are a threat to power.
