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.
