1998 - l.7 million people are in prisons across the country. Most of them are young, Black or Latino, and most are in prison for non violent offenses. Congress is debating lowering the execution age to l5 and imprisoning juveniles with hardened adult offenders. A whole generation of our youth is being treated like criminals based on how they dress, their attitude, the color of their skin or where they live. Who will stop the criminalization of a generation?
Oct 22, 1998 will be a day of marches, rallies, cultural events, teach-ins and other forms of protest in cities across the US and beyond. Many will wear black in memory of the victims of police violence and in solidarity with the protests. An updated edition of the book, "Stolen Lives", will document additional cases of murder at the hands of the police. We urge all victims of police brutality and all who believe it must end and end now to join us in this critical fight for
Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation!
