Five Things: Murder on the Rise, Book Launch, Show & Tell

1. From Shantel Davis to Kiki Gray: Why is NYPD Murder on the Rise?

Join us at this panel organized by the Brooklyn International Socialist Organization and endorsed by the Shantel Davis Organizing Committee for Justice and Beyond (www.justice4shantel.com). Speakers will be followed by open discussion of why police violence exists and what kind of movement it would take to fundamentally challenge it. We stand behind the family members of those taken by police and demand justice for every death.
