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.

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.
