FREE the JENA 6

"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."


by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

Let the world know that we are watching and this miscarriage of justice can NOT happen on the watch of ANYone who who values equal, and appropriate justice for EVERYONE! (and we need to wake up to all the other political and social injustices that are occuring daily that we are turning a blind eye to!

Go to Jena, LA if you can and join the peaceful rally. If you can't go, wear Black wherever you are on 9/20/07 to signify support for the Jena 6 and the people who have given their time and effort to support them in person.

You can also go to the Color of change website and sign the petition of support at: http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/?id=1763-389519 and buy t-shirts to contribute to their defense fund.
