This week we received an unprecedented 300+ petitioners! Included are these folks:

• James Spaulding
• Judi Silvano
• Chris Lightcap
• Phil Woods
• David Amram
• Maxine Roach (daughter of Max)
• Ed MacEachen
• Mike LeDonne
• Butch Miles
• NY City Councilmember Eric Gioia (D-26, Queens)
• Amiri Baraka
• Stanley Crouch

If you haven’t yet done this, we urge you to sign the online petition — and please encourage your friends to do so as well.

This is not limited to musicians–it’s for fans, friends, and people who just like to see a little social justice now and again!

We also wrote letters to several local politicians, including David Dinkins and Charles Rangel. If you know a local elected official, encourage them to add their name to our list of Coalition Endorsers. They can this by signing the petition.

We have secured a spot for our rally in September. More later on this topic.
