Powerful People!

Poverty Is Not A Crime (PINAC) received word the other day that a black
disabled veteran named Al was beaten into a coma by Northampton police in an
alley near 711 downtown. His family is outraged and coming from Boston to
support him. We understand that we have very little information about this
incident, as so far there has been no news coverage of this horror, but we
will publicize information as we find it, and this event will be a part of
our rally against police brutality!

TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 5:00 PM
KIOSK BY BUS STOP, NEAR URBAN OUTFITTERS.

COME ONE COME ALL. BRING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, VOICES, LOVE AND RAGE, THE
POLICE WILL NOT KEEP THEIR HANDS ON OUR THROATS, OR THEIR GAGS IN OUR
MOUTHS.

Incidents like this are not circumstantial, they are not coincidental, they
are part of a pattern of racist, sexist, and ableist practices that have
become habit and protocol of the Northampton police. NoHo ain't a sunny
little paradise anymore, if it ever was.

Solidarity Love &
Resistance!
