Jena 6 Update

I mentioned the Jena situation earlier in my racism post but wanted to address it again.

Who are the Jena Six? A group of black students who are being charged with attempted murder for beating up a white student who was taunting them with racial slurs, and continued to support other white students who hung three nooses from the high school's "white tree" which sits in the front yard.

Please sign the petition below, if you feel there has been a miscarriage of justice:

Additionally, make plans to be in Jena, LA on September 20th to stand in solidarity with the families and friends of the Jena 6 or Wear All Black on September 20th, 2007 --- Stop Racism!
