The Campaign to Free Diop is part of the larger struggle to end the war being waged on the African community.
Police beatings, frameups and shootings are daily occurrences in the black commmunity. But the police are not the only criminals in the justice system.
The DA defends the criminal activity of the police in court while they work overtime to prosecute African people.
Judges take money under the table from private prisons in exchange for more convictions.
Public defenders and many paid lawyers do nothing to protect their clients’ interests.
Together these forces maintain a prison industry that generates trillions of dollars for the US economy at the expense of African people. Only a court system controlled by the African working class will bring forth justice or Africans!
We are marching to jail the crooked cops, judges and lawyers!
March demands
Free Diop Olugbala – all charges dropped, no sentence!
Reparations to the African community – $1 billion for economic development, not police, prisons and courts
Independent investigation of all cases of Africans who have been brutalized, framed up and killed by police, judges and attorneys
Jail the police, judges and attorneys found guilty of crimes against the people
Immediate release of all African people in prison due to the corruption of Philadelphia’s criminal justice system
