Oscar Grant / Come to BART Board Meeting Thurs, April 9, 9am* * * PLEASE DO FORWARD WIDELYESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A DAYTIME EVENT * * *As if the murder and cover-up of Oscar Grant's execution weren't outrageous enough, now BART attorneys claim that Officers Tony Pirone and Marysol Domenici were not at fault in the shooting of Oscar Grant. They even say Oscar would have beaten THEM -- that Oscar would have beaten the police -- if they hadn't acted with the force they used.BART is trying to separate itself from the murder of Oscar Grant and act like now it's just between the District Attorney and former BART Officer Mehserle.

  • JOIN THE NATIONAL DIALOGUE: In advance of the Durban Review Conference

  • Apr 3, 2009 from 7:00am to 8:30am
  • Location: (218) 339-3600 Participant Access Code: 736265#
  • Description: The racially defined history of injustice still shapes today’s realities, both national and international. Despite the media hype to the contrary, neither our country nor our world is “post racial.” This fact underscores the importance of the upcoming Durban Review Conference, April 20 – 24, 2009, in Geneva Switzerland. The Review Conference is an opportunity for the world to continue the dialogue begun in 2001, during the World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerances, and to refocus attention on the task of achieving human dignity for all. Unfortunately, the Obama administration, continuing the Bush policy, has said that it will not participate (see TransAfrica Forum statement for details). However, members of the Congressional Black Caucus, TransAfrica Forum, and other members of the NGO community will attend. And, we want to hear from you. What do you think? •Has the U.S. made progress in the fight against racism, xenophobia, and intolerance since 2001?
