Campaign Endorsement Form 14/02/2022

I am joining the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and the Campaign in demanding the Federal Bureau of Prisons release Dr. Mutulu Shakur immediately!

Dr. Mutulu Shakur is a father, grandfather, healer, human rights organizer, and political prisoner, who has been incarcerated for 36 years. Dr. Shakur is 71 years old, has suffered 2 strokes, glaucoma, and has been battling Stage 3 bone marrow cancer for the last 2 ½ years.

HELP THEIR STORY GO VIRAL!!! Share widely and come out Saturday!

Kareem Byam, 43, a disabled American veteran, and his wife Lisa, 43, are living through the worst possible racial trauma, and terror in Lake Grove, Long Island New York.

The couple has lived in their home for 3 1/2 years and since their arrival they’ve been met with racial slurs, death threats, dangerous snakes being put on their property, dead squirrels being put on their property, broken windows, racial profiling, false police reports, and a mob of racist white neighbors including a police sheriff attacking his family’s well-being.

Read the full story on the graphics and visit their gofundme for more information. Join us for an action outside their home this Saturday at 1pm. The situation is urgent, Kareem as a veteran, describes it as life or death.

A call for state-wide support from Long Island Progressive Coalition:
New York State Attorney General and Governor Andrew Cuomo need to immediately launch a full and independent investigation into the police brutality against Akbar Rogers. The officers who assaulted him, including the Freeport mayor’s sons, must be held accountable. The governor and attorney general also must investigate what led to the phony charges against Akbar.
