Rally at Union Square Tomorrow- Sat. March 17th, 12noon

3 Detectives to Be Indicted by Grand Jury in Bell Case

The grand jury made its decision in the Sean Bell case today, but the DA's office has decided to wait until Monday to make a formal announcement. In spite of this, national media has already reported that there have been indictments of 3 of the 5 cops involved.

GATHER AT UNION SQUARE TOMORROW – 12NOON - Demand Justice for Bell, Benefield, Guzman & ALL OTHERS murdered and brutalized by the NYPD!

A Call to Bear Witness that Justice Be Served

The NYPD's murder of Sean Bell and attempted murders of Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman are NOT isolated or random events. They represent the continued racial profiling of communities of color by the police and the lack of accountability for police misconduct and abuse.

PEOPLES' JUSTICE - COMMUNITY CONTROL! - POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY!
