MAY 13TH COALITION...

MOTHERS ORGANIZED AGAINST POLICE TERROR

Rally to Stop Police Brutality

Why We Must Take a Stand

We are the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandparents, families and friends of victims of police terror and concerned citizens who have joined together in a broad-based coalition to:

1. call for a federal investigation into police terror
2. eradicate police terrorist activities from every community
3. form a national organization to monitor and confront police terror and to offer concrete support and assistance to victims and the families of victims of police terror.

May 13 is the anniversary of one of the most vicious acts of police terror in history - the 1985 bombing of the MOVE compound on Osage Avenue, Philadelphia.

May 13 is also the International Day of Support for Mumia Abu-Jamal, a well-known victim of police terror.

And, May 13 is the day before Mothers Day, a day of sadness for so many mothers who have lost children to police terror, more than 2,000 since 1990! And the toll continues to rise.

"How long will they kill our future while we stand aside and look?" These words, paraphrased from Bob Marley's verse, "Redemption Song", are our call to action because we say NO MORE! We will not stand by and let any more of our people become the victims of police terror without an organized, focused response.

TAKE A STAND!

Rally and March on May 13th. PLEASE WEAR BLACK in solidarity with our efforts to end police brutality.
