Defend Black Lives Matter Protesters Against Police Abuse

BLM Pasadena organizer Jasmine Richards Abdullah says: "I moved from Pasadena my home due to police threats. I have also been charged with felony lynching from a peace walk BLM Pasadena organized in northwest Pasadena on August 28, 2015." As C-L goes to press, she was convicted of attempted felony lynching in Pasadena by the Pasadena office of the L.A. County district attorney, and faces a possible 4-year sentence on Tuesday June 7 at the Pasadena courthouse -- people are mobilizing for court support and urge leniency.
