Dear Friends,
There are many ways for us to work for justice and peace this week:
Today there’s a hearing at Old City Hall, 4th fl, 10am, of the Public Safety Committee that will concentrate on India Cummings and the Erie County Holding Center and egregious neglect and injustices in the system.
Also there’s the regular Wednesday Prisoners’ Rights Vigil at 4-5pm outside the Erie County Holding Center (ECHC, Delaware & Church). It is ongoing – happening every Wednesday. Please bring signs!
We also have the Radical King Reading group tonight at the WNYPC, 1272 Delaware Ave (entrance & pkg round back of bldg).
Tomorrow, Thursday, July 26, from 4-7pm, there’ll be another vigil today in front of City Hall, calling out District Attorney Flynn to prosecute persons responsible in India Cummings tragic death 2 ½ years ago, determined to be a homicide by the Commission of Corrections’ Medical Review Board due to extreme medical neglect by the Sheriff’s Department.
These issues and more will also be covered at the Racial Justice Taskforce meeting on Sunday, July 29, 1-2:30pm, again at the WNYPC, 1272 Delaware Ave (entrance & pkg round back of bldg).
This Saturday, starting at 10am at Bidwell & Elmwood, as part of the Infringement Festival, we’ll #FocusOnYemen, and directly afterwards, #FocusOnIraq. Women In Black will start at Noon (to 1pm) for the regular weekly nonviolence vigil. Our government’s militarism, violence, and war crimes in the area must be stopped, and humanitarian work and repair be undertaken.
Above all, don’t miss the opportunity to hear Kathy Kelly, Co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, renown peace activist and Nobel Prize Nominee, on at Focus on Yemen, July 30, 7pm at Burning Books, again part of the Infringement Festival.
