Website for the Local Coordinating Committee of New York
The October 22 Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation has been mobilizing every year since 1996 for a National Day of Protest on October 22, bringing together those under the gun and those not under the gun as a powerful voice to expose the epidemic of police brutality.
The Coalition also works on the Stolen Lives Project, which documents cases of killings by law enforcement
nationwide. The second edition of the Stolen Lives book documents over 2000 cases in the 1990's alone. The second volume to this book is now in the
works, and volunteers are needed to help with the research and editing. Please contact the National Office at 1-888-NO BRUTALITY or info@october22.org for more information.

From Joey Steel:
Kathryn was a revolutionary comrade and a ferocious fighter against police brutality.
Kathryn passed away this year along close members of her family. She was an inspirational comrade and leader who brought the best out of everyone she knew.
Today we are going to celebrate a warrior sister, whether you knew her or not, who fixed our eyes on the prize of taking all the power away from this goddamned system & helping the masses hold it.
Come dance, & sing, & meet others struggling to make the world a better place & have a good fucking time while we do it.
This is a benefit. We will be giving all the money we raise to Kathryn's husband and comrade, Paul.
New friends are welcome. Kathryn was all about meeting new people, exchanging ideas, and putting out our vision of a better world in as artistic a way as possible.
