Sunday Oct. 29th at 1 PM
State House Boston

The silent protest started by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick to kneel during the national anthem in protest to the
scourge of police violence and brutality disproportionately meted out to
Black people has continued to spread. It has brought a backlash against
those who have joined the protest whose right to voice their views in
this manner has been challenged. Kaepernick's protest itself was in
response to the tens of thousands who have been taking to the streets
demanding justice throughout the country since the police murder of Mike
Brown in Ferguson, MO in 2014.

When President Trump weighed in on the debate he simply added fuel to
the fire. The message has become lost somewhat as a debate over the
right to protest itself. But this was always a protest against police
brutality and racism.

On the one year anniversary of the deadly police shooting of Terrence
Coleman in Boston, MA we call on all supporters of this righteous
protest to join with us as we stand up to the backlash and bring the
focus back to the victims of police brutality and their families.

We are calling on the State Attorney Maura Healy to reopen the cases of
police involved shootings of Terrence Coleman, Usaamah Rahim, Burrell
Ramsey-White, Ross Batista, Denis Reynoso, Eurie Stamps, and all other
victims of police brutality in the state of Massachusetts. We also
protest in solidarity with the people of St Louis who have been taking
to the streets since the acquittal of officer Jason Stockley for the
murder of Anthony Lamar Smith in September.

Immediately appoint a special prosecutor to reopen all past cases of
police brutality!

Jail all killer cops!
