  1. DONATE to the family of Jamaal Simpson, who was murdered by LA County Sheriff on August 1, 2019. Immediately upon killing Jamaal deputies cordoned off the area and confiscated all surveillance video. https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-jamaal

RECAP

Last Tuesday’s scheduled elections for the Los Angeles Police Commission were postponed. Steve Soboroff remains Board President for at least two more weeks. Anti-Trump organizers continued to demand answers around the infiltration of their work by LAPD.

HIGHLIGHTED NEED:
Refrigerator – We need a refrigerator or a mini-fridge for our headquarters! We often host meetings, events and stage bus-rides there. We have been relying on coolers to keep our perishable items from spoiling. A standard fridge is preferred, but even a mini-fridge would help a great deal. We’re happy to receive a new or a well-working used fridge.

BLACK AUGUST:
We recognize that the struggle for Black freedom too often comes at a tremendous cost. There are still Black freedom fighters locked in cages. Please remember them, write to them, and donate to the Jericho Movement at https://thejerichomovement.com/donate.
