[imc-st.louis] Hip Hop Caucus "Stop Hate Crimes and Police Brutality" video

[Ben]

In lieu of recent Confluence issue about police brutality, a 501.c(4)
non-profit called Hip Hop Caucus had a large event titled "Enough is
Enough! Stop Hate Crimes and Police Brutality" in DC last month, 11/17/07.

They just posted a video montage of the event on Youtube.  Here is their
 description...

"This past year was very exciting.  We went on a national tour to 'Make
Hip Hop, Not War,' and discussed the impact of the Iraq war on our
communities at home.  We "Shut it Down" with Amnesty International and
the ACLU, mobilizing thousands of people for a national lobby day to
restore habeas corpus and shut down Guantanamo.  We had the opportunity
to travel to Jordan to meet with Iraqi refugees and officials, which
inspired our Iraqi Refugee Project that will be launched in the coming
months.  We continued to fight for the right to return of Katrina
Survivors and to stop the demolition of public housing in New Orleans.

Most recently we mobilized thousands of young people at the foot of the
Washington Monument who shouted: 'Enough is Enough! Stop Hate Crimes and
Police Brutality.'  Please watch this short, inspiring YouTube video of
the event:"
