The list of participants and endorsers is growing everyday.
It is time we got our people together in the streets by the
thousands, said Bashir Akinyele of the New Black Panther
Party and principal coordinator of the event.We want 10,000
serious, concerned and committed people to come out for
this. We want all the mothers, fathers, grandparents, youth
groups, sets, teachers, workers, clergy, everybody wanting to
change this genocidal condition to come and stand together.
Our youth, our babies, our only future, deserve this,he
finished. The Black August Anti-Street Violence Coalition is
a united effort initiated by the Newark Chapter of the New
Black Panther Party.
