A WEEK OF ACTION FOR KIWANE CARRINGTON:

On Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 7:00 pm
there is a study session on the “Use of Force” policy of the Champaign
police at city hall in downtown Champaign.

On Wednesday, Nov. 11 at noon
* there will be a Youth Rally at the Veterans Memorial at the
Champaign County courthouse in downtown Urbana.
* From 10:00 am to noon, we will meet at the Independent Media Center
to make signs, and banners for the march.
* This will also be a time for people to share their stories toward
the creation of a youth-led video project. The IMC is in downtown
Urbana at the Old Post Office. Public schools will be closed for
Veterans Day*.
* Youth are encouraged to express their feelings about Kiwane Carrington.


Don’t forget! Kiwane’s best friend will be in juvenile court
Thursday, Nov. 12 at 11 am. While the public is not allowed at the
hearing, your presence is needed outside the courtroom to show
support. Call State’s Attorney Julia Rietz at 384-3733 and tell her to
drop the charges! Stop hiding the truth by prosecuting the witness!

*This Veterans Day, remember the Tuskegee Airmen, the famed African
American pilots during World War II, some of whom who were stationed
in nearby Rantoul. Excluded from all-white recreational centers, they
came to Champaign where the Douglass Center was first established for
these black men in uniform. Before black youth wanted to become
astronauts, they wanted to be Tuskegee Airmen.
