EVENT ALERT: NYC Sponsors Bus To Atlanta to Plan Action Against Police Brutality

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

The Stop Mass Incarceration Network, a group formed to address the rise in private prisons, and Black men (and women) being incarcerated for crimes that would normally be considered a misdemeanor, or for specious allegation - is convening a two day planning conference in Atlanta, Georgia, centered around resistance to police brutality and judicial injustice.  The chartered bus left NYC Thursday evening and arrived in Atlanta, GA around 12:30 on Friday, where they hooked up with  The Stop Mass Incarceration Network's Meet and Greet event at the Castleberry Inn & Suites

Below is the agenda for the weekend.  Any of you who are either planning to travel to Atlanta this weekend, are already in Atlanta, but didn't know this was happening, or who have relatives in Atlanta who should be part of this momentous event, please make sure you share this with them. 

Stay Blessed & 
ECLECTICALLY BLACK
