Rally for #TrayvonMartin #BlackLivesMatter #NYCShutItDown


Black Lives Matter/Black Liberation Group NYC SHUT IT DOWN - Grand Central Crew will be holding a mass rally on Monday February 22, 2016 at Grand Central Station at 7pm for #TrayvonMartin. Trayvon Martin was an unarmed teenager who was stalked, ambushed and murdered by racist neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida on February 26, 2012.  Zimmerman was never convicted due to the racist legal system in Florida.

NYC SHUT IT DOWN Organizers are urging all people of all Races to Come out in Solidarity to show continued support to the family of Trayvon.  There is also a National Call to Action for Every Person and Organization Nationwide to Rally and Protest in Solidarity against the corrupt law enforcement and legal system in this country.

#PeoplesMonday #MarioWoods #BlackLivesMatter #ReclaimMLK

#ReclaimMLK
The Largest Planned March in New York City with Endorsements from various Organizations.

via NYC Shut It Down Facts Team:
On December 2, 2015, Mario Woods was walking down the sidewalk when five police officers from the San Francisco Police Department approachedhim with their weapons drawn. Officers claimed that Mario matched a suspect description for a crime that had been committed earlier in the day.
 (In which he was never confirmed of being the person of interest)

According to video footage, Mario is standing with his back against a concrete wall, completely surrounded by officers who mercilessly opened fire on him, shooting him at least 15 times. Officers say that Mario was holding a knife, but as the first shot is fired, Mario is limping away from the officers and his hands were at his sides.

Earlier this year, a federal probe uncovered that officers from the San Francisco Police Department had been sending racist text messages in which black people were called "monkeys" and "half-breeds." And, on the very day that San Francisco police executed Mario, defendants in a federal drug case accused the department of "engaging in systematic racial bias and sexual harassment toward black residents."

Join us on Monday, January 18th, as we remember #MarioWoods in points throughout #Brooklyn. We stand in solidarity with Mario's family and the #BlackLivesMatter community in #SanFrancisco.

#PeoplesMonday #IndiaKager #BlackVetsMatter #BlackLivesMatter 1/11/2016


Via NYC Shut It Down:
On the night of Sept. 5th, 2015, India Kager was murdered by officers from the Virginia Beach Police Department. She was a 27-year-old black woman and a mother to two young boys. India was a Navy veteran who was awarded medals for good conduct and service in the global war on terror.

India was driving her boyfriend, Angelo Perry, to his home in Virginia Beach. Their four-month-old son was in his car seat in the back. Unknown to her, the police were following them in an unmarked car as part of an investigation related to Angelo. When India stopped at a local 7-11, four white officers from the Special Operations Unit rushed her car with guns drawn. Within 15 seconds the officers fired 30 shots, killing both Angelo and India. Even though police had trailed India for over 30 minutes, they claimed they didn’t realize a child was in the back seat. 

India was not armed. She had not committed a crime. Her young sons are now orphans. And yet, no charges have been brought against any of the officers involved in her murder.
