Uhuru Forum: Summer Against State Terror

 

• Police Containment - 35,000 people were stopped by police under the “Stop & Frisk” policy in the first 70 days of 2008. That’s equivalent to 30% of Center City!

• Mass Imprisonment – Philadelphia has the highest imprisonment rate in the U.S. = the highest rate in the entire world!

• Neocolonialism – 35% of Mayor Nutter’s 2009 Budget (1.13 billion) to fund “Public Safety” - counterinsurgency war on the African community: police, courts, surveillance

Featuring:

• Ajamu Bandele, African People’s Socialist Party

• Multimedia presentation by the African People’s Solidarity Committee: "History of African Oppression and Resistance in Philadelphia"
