How can I get involved this movement?Asked by Anonymous
Come to meetings. Check the schedule here. http://phillyrealjustice.com/
Is there a website where organized rallies in our specific area can be found easily? I did check the BLM website, but all I saw was a calendar for forums and classes, not rallies/protests.Asked by ellen-ruth-deactivated20161019
Inmates Are Planning The Largest Prison Strike in US History On September 9th. Prisoners across the country are standing up against forced labor and squalid living conditions. Read the whole comic by Sofie Louise Dam here.
Do ont forget that we never actually outlawed slavery, the amendment just says you have to be a PRISONER to be forced into slave labor, so now the government just finds excuses to throw black people in jail en masse to keep slavery alive

Philadelphia Police Officer Outed as White Supremacist with Ties to Blood and Honour
This information coming to light could lead to Lichterman’s removal, but one thing is certain: it will not change the fact that Police were developed specifically to protect White Supremacy and Patriarchy in this country. As long as Philly PD exist, their ranks will be full of the bigoted, power-hungry and corrupt, as well as a handful of fools and cowards who get the “good cop” label and serve to protect people like Lichterman.

Wrongfully Convicted Prisoner Lorenzo Johnson’s Statement for the Black DNC Resistance March
When we say Back Lives Matter, we in no way mean other cultures do not matter. We are speaking of the epidemic that has singled out our race. Mass Incarceration, the innocent shootings of unarmed blacks, the record number of exonerations, police and prosecution misconduct, medicare, welfare, the homeless, unemployment and much more have damaged the black community more than any other race. The U.S. Constitution have not been applied equally to blacks. Thanks to social media, what’s been affecting blacks for the longest, is now being shown to society as a whole to witness. For two decades, I’ve been falsely convicted–By evidence the prosecution knew was false from day one. They NEVER corrected it. I am one of MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS who have been a victim of INJUSTICE. Black lives matter…
Lorenzo Johnson served 16.5 years of a life-without-parole sentence until 2012, when the Third Circuit Federal Court of Appeals ruled there was legally insufficient evidence for his conviction. He remained free for four months, after which the US Supreme Court unanimously reinstated the conviction and ordered him back to prison to resume the sentence. With the support of The Pennsylvania Innocence Project and the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, he is continuing to fight for his freedom. Though he does not have internet access himself, you can email his campaign, make a donation, or sign his petition and learn more at: http://www.freelorenzojohnson.org/sign-the-petition.html.
