Join the Audre Lorde Project, Sunday at 2pm, at the Vigil: United Against Hate.

When: 
Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 2:00pm

Neighborhoods like Bushwick are routinely subjected to police brutality. Therefore we believe that it is ultimately the community's responsibility to ensure that tragedies like this never occur. We recognize the power of community members to challenge the root causes of violence. Therefore we call on all community members to organize for education, transformation, and healing.

Vigil: United Against Hate!

In response to Bushwick Hate Crime Committed Against the Sucuzhanay Brothers

When: Sunday December 14, 2008 at 2pm

Where: At Make the Road's Community Park (Corner of Grove Street and Myrtle Ave.) *We will march to the corner where the incidents happened (Corner of Bushwick Ave. and Kossuth Place.)

How to get there: Take the L train or the M train to Myrtle-Wycoff Ave

We are counting on your support: Let's fight against Hate Crimes as One Community!
