Cincinnati Zapatista Coalition 

The Cincinnati Zapatista Coalition will be having a demonstration in
Downtown Cincinnati at 5pm in support of Political Prisoners Leonard Peltier
and Mumia Abu-Jamal, and against Police Brutality.

We've all heard about Amadou Diallo, where the four cops who shot at him 41
times were acquitted of all charges.  And surely, because of Rudolph
Guiliani's comments and track record, we later heard of Patrick Dorismond,
yet another unarmed African-American male who was killed very soon after
that Diallo verdict.

You may also have heard about Young, Jr. out of Rhode Island, who was an off
duty police officer, or even of Obregon in Houston, who's apartment was
illegally entered (no warrant) and who was shot in the back several times.
No weapons nor drugs were found in his apartment. But, there are local
victims of Police Brutality as well (Collins and Carpenter in Cincinnati,
Rudolph in Louisville, and others).

The International Concerned Family and Friends is calling for a National Day
of Action for Mumia and for the victims of Police Brutality.  The Cincinnati
Zapatista Coalition has decided to be a part of this national action.  We
hope everyone will attend and take a stand with us.  If you have any
questions, concerns, comments, ideas please call us at (513) 232-0362 OR
(513) 325-4179.  Thank You!
