John -
I'm sending you this message as a reminder of our June 25 "One Wish: Justice" rally honoring Tamir Rice on what would have been his 19th birthday.
We also need marshals to help out at the rally. PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU CAN HELP - (202) 320-7361.
Forward together,
Zillah
=====================================================================
Update from the rally organizers:
On Friday, June 25, Tamir Rice would be turning 19. He would be blowing out candles on a cake and making a wish. Instead his mother Samaria Rice has only one wish: justice.
Organizers and supporters in both Cleveland and Washington DC are rallying behind her and will hold demonstrations to amplify her call for the DOJ to reopen the case against Tamir’s killers.

With the sentencing of Derek Chauvin being delivered on June 25, we are seeking justice for Cleveland’s George Floyd. Convictions of these officers would help end police impunity for anti-Black violence in the United States and bring the Rice family much needed peace.
Cosponsoring Organizations include: Black Lives Matter Cleveland, Black Spring Cleveland, New Era Cleveland, Cleveland/DC Communist Party, Black Lives Matter DC, DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, DC Poor People’s Campaign, Claudia Jones School for Political Education, Pan African Community Action DMV, Our Revolution Ohio, Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus, and more
