https://www.facebook.com/events/326822644325646/permalink/328754187465825/ National Action Against Police Brutality and Murder is proud to present VOICES FOR JUSTICE IN HIP HOP. This fundraising event will feature artists using spoken word, hip/hop, song and rap to convey the issues regarding police brutality and murder as well as "Life" and what it means to live underneath the racism, occupation of police, and poverty, and the results of that poverty. Some of those performing are activists themselves "out on the front lines" fighting the injustice of police murders. This showcase features artists who have used their voices to represent the people who are often ignored and unheard. National Action Against Police Brutality is proud to showcase these artists, for we also seek to speak for those whose voices have gone "unheard".National Action Against Police Brutality and Murder (NAAPB) is a grass roots organization created in responses to the epidemic of police brutality and Murder across the nation. Danette L Chavis, the mother of Gregory L Chavis (YB) is its founder.~Gregory L Chavis or YB as he was called, lost his life at the hands of NYPD in October 2004 after they failed to get him the medical attention that was needed after having been shot by a stray bullet intended for someone else. He was directly across the street from the hospital when police pulled up and threatened to shoot those who were carrying him to the hospital, if they didn't put him down. As a result he died from those injuries on the curb across the street from the hospital. Although the medical examiners report said he had "every probability of survival" a federal court judge ruled that actions of police did not "shock the conscience" and the case was ruled in favor of police.Nevertheless the fight for "nation wide action" continues, determined that all should be held accountable for the murders of unarmed innocents. A petition currently in progress is being used to galvanize "a nation wide movement" that no longer excepts the justifications being given for murders of police. This fundraising effort not only let's the voices of the afflicted be heard but aids in the furtherance of the demand nation wide. All are encourage to support these efforts and indeed sign the petition.Sign now!www.change.org/p/national-action-against-police-brutalityDonate!www.gofundme.com/POLICE-ACCOUNTABILITYVisit our page on Face Book for UPDATES on the demand in progress.
