Oct. 2: Free the Jena 6

Free the Jena 6!
Free Mychal Bell!
Join the Protest at the U.S. Justice Department

Tuesday, October 2, 5:00 pm
9th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington DC

"On Sept. 20, tens of thousands of people marched in Jena, La. to demand immediate freedom for Mychal Bell and the Jena 6. The case of the Jena 6 has garnered international attention, and shone a spotlight on the racist nature of this country's criminal "injustice" system.

"Although the message of the Sept. 20 protest was broadcast far and wide, just one day later, a Louisiana judge delivered another outrage. Mychal Bell, 17, was denied bail while awaiting an appeal of his recently overturned adult conviction."
