Caravan for Justice 1 - Justice for Oscar Grant - Sandré Swanson

Sandré Swanson & Joe Coto speak at State Capitol

All roads lead to Sacramento - a Caravan for Justice. This was the first of a series of planned Caravans for Justice focusing on various aspects of the "justice" system. A caravan of cars and buses traveled to the California State Capitol on February 19, 2009 to lobby legislators in Sacramento on the issues of Oscar Grant and police killings (revising the "Police Bill of Rights" that shields their misconduct records from the public), repressive gang laws, reforming Three Strikes, and the San Francisco 8, former Black Panthers and associates being retried by Attorney General Jerry Brown for a 1971 police killing based on evidence extracted by torture in 1973.

Sacramento is my home town and i am so glad this is happening. Prison is nothing but slavery. The justice system is stealing our black children from having a life.
