Drop the Charges on Protesters! Charge Killer Cops!

End racist police terror, murder with impunity and harassment of protest movements. File charges against killer cops! Drop the charges against protesters!

From Baltimore, to Ferguson, to New York, to Durham to Los Angeles, a powerful new movement across the country has emerged to fight racist police murders and the failure to indict or imprison killer cops. In Los Angeles, over 400 people were arrested on the front lines of this protest movement after shutting down major city streets, highways, intersections and other venues last November after Darryl Wilson was not charged over the death of Mike Brown.

Many more continue to be arrested after the fact, including those who occupied LAPD. Several of these protesters are now facing serious criminal charges, including Shalana Little who is facing up to 4 years in jail. This is part of a national trend to target Black activists with more serious charges, including the use of "lynching" charges, while doing nothing to indict the true lynchers, the killer cops.

Shalana is going to trial on June 4, so we must pressure the prosecutor to drop the charges now!

We must continue to build this movement for people's power and liberation.
