NO MORE STOLEN LIVES!
March and Speak Out at Boys and Girls Club Against Police Brutality

Thursday, October 22, 2009.
Meet at 4pm at Illinois Terminal—march to Boys and Girls Club for speak out at 5pm. 


On Friday October 9, 2009, Kiwane Carrington and Jeshaun Manning-Carter, two unarmed 15-year-olds were accosted by Champaign officers—including the Chief of Police—at the place where Kiwane stayed. Kiwane was shot and killed. Jeshaun was arrested, at first for burglary (charges since dropped), and then for felony aggravated resisting a peace officer, and was taken to jail.


Something is fundamentally wrong with police procedure where a mistaken assumption about burglary leads to guns drawn, ransacking of a home, and killing of a young person — with the Chief of Police present!

CU Citizens for Peace and Justice are calling for: 

Dropping of all charges against Jeshaun Manning-Carter
Resignation of Champaign Police Chief R. T. Finney

This March is in sympathy with the national day of protest against police brutality, and locally is a multi-racial call: No More Stolen Lives!


The Speak Out at the Boys and Girls Club, 5pm, will be a safe space for people to record their experiences with the police.
