Justice for the SF8! Black Panthers Fight Government Persecution…Again.
Celebrate Black History Month and learn about the case of the San Francisco Eight—former Black Panther Party members currently battling prosecution for their political activities organizing for racial and economic justice. This modern-day witchhunt is based on confessions obtained over 35 years ago by police torture.
Featuring a showing of the documentary “Legacy of Torture: The War against the Black Liberation Movement,” followed by a panel discussion with Richard Brown, SF8 defendant and Western Addition community organizer, and Nellie Wong, revolutionary poet and political prisoner activist.
The event takes place on Saturday, February 21, 7:30pm, with a Southern BBQ Supper served at 6:00pm. The door donation request is $3 and the buffet donation $9; and sliding scale and work exchanges are available.
