Please forward widely: Because the Southern CA Library, our normal venue, will be closed this Saturday because of South LA Earth Day activities, we have rescheduled the planning meeting for the Peoples Justice Conference to Friday evening, April 15 at 7:00 PM at the Sepulveda Blvd. Peace Center, 3916 S. Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City (between Washington Place and Venice Blvd., almost directly across from the off/on ramp for the northbound 405 freeway). The 33/733 MTA buses and the Culver City #6 bus all stop nearby. The conference itself is set for the weekend of may 14-15, which is only a month away.
Attached is a simple quarter-sheet flyer for the conference and the next few planning meetings. The conference is exactly a month off, and we have to power up our program development, outreach, media and publicity and other preparatory work to make sure it is a success and that we can come out of it with powerful on-going work and alliances. The conference is designed to bring together people facing and organizing around police terror and racial profiling, mass incarceration and the prison-industrial complex, political imprisonment and repression, juvenile justice, economic and social reintegration of formerly incarcerated people, and the death penalty. It will feature a Peoples Trial of the state for human rights violations against political prisoners, organized by the Jericho Amnesty Movement, a strategy session on community control organized by the Coalition for Community Control Over the Police, self-defense training by the Black Riders Liberation Party and the Brown Riders, and many other workshops on the themes of the conference, as well as opportunities for alliance building and strategizing for future joint actions and campaigns. ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
