Richard Masato Aoki R.I.P.
Richard Masato Aoki, 1938-2009
Fearless Leader and Servant of the People
It is with deep sadness that we inform you that
Richard Aoki, due to complications from
longstanding medical problems, passed away
on March 15, 2009.
Born on November 20, 1938, Richard was a
righteous fighter and a warrior in the truest
sense ? he dedicated his life to his beliefs and
the struggle for human rights. He was a field
marshal in the Black Panther Party, a founding
member of the Asian American Political Alliance,
a leader in the Third World Liberation Front
Strike at UC Berkeley, co-ordinator for the first
Asian American Studies program at UC Berkeley, an
advisor for Asians for Job Opportunities, a

We will remember him for the personal impact he
made on our lives and the social impact he made
on the community movements of people of all colors:
"Based on my experience, I've seen where unity
amongst the races has yielded positive results. I
don?t see any other way for people to gain
freedom, justice, and equality here except by being internationalist."
Richard Aoki
Memorial arrangements are pending and information
will be available at a later date.
Sincerely,
Harvey Dong

Press Release: Justice for Salvador Zepeda! No More Stolen Lives!
Justice for Salvador Zepeda! No More Stolen Lives!
For immediate release: Contact (Eng./Spanish):
February 21, 2009 Allegra Padilla 323.369.9662
**For Immediate Release: Vigil Today for Salvador Zepeda Alarcon, 18 year old murdered by Sheriffs in East Los Angeles 5pm-7pm**
On November 30th Salvador Zepeda was murdered by the Sheriffs in East Los Angeles in cold blood a block away from his home. He was coming from a party, and his neighbors witnessed the police kill him and then plant a gun on him. He was only 18 years old, and his family is fighting for justice. The East Los Angeles Sheriffs Department continues to harass the community and intimidate them, they wish to silence the wrongful murder and have arrested 16 people from the same neighborhood, most of them youth. The family has a current lawsuit pending on the Sheriff’s Department.
East Los Angeles, CA, February 21st, 2009. There will be a vigil today from (5-7pm)called for by the Zepeda family, and organized by supporting organizations and the community at on the corner where Salvador (or Chava, all of his friends called him) was slain, on Humphreys Ave. and Folsom St. in East Los Angeles. Leading up to the vigil, organizers as well as community members have been harassed and intimidated by the same Sheriffs department.
The sheriffs have tried to slander the character of Chava by saying that he was a gang member, but he was someone who was known and loved by all in this neighborhood. Maribel Zepeda, Salvador’s sister, said, "I want his story to be out there, and not forgotten. The police are just going to try and brush it under the rug. We want justice for Chava."
Organizers from the October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, ADELANTE, the Guerrilla Chapter of Cop Watch Los Angeles, have put out the call to different community organizations to be there to support the families who suffer from this brutality and harassment on a daily basis in effort to demand justice for all lives stolen by law enforcement nationally and internationally.
The community of East Los Angeles along with the families who have been victims of police brutality and police murder will be at the vigil to say, "No more stolen lives." The community organizations will be there to support the families and to support grassroots efforts to stop these injustices that are being committed by all law enforcement agencies and officers nationally and internationally.

East L.A. Sheriffs Harass Organizers: Justice for Salvador Zepeda

On Wednesday February 18th, 2009 members of the October 22nd Coalition and Cop Watch Los Angeles - GC / Revolutionary Autonomous Communities were doing outreach in the East Los Angeles Community, for the vigil that will take place Saturday, February 21st for Salvador Zepeda who was murdered in cold blood by the Sheriffs on November 30th, 2008. In the same community where Salvador (Chava) was killed, the same sheriffs that murdered him continue to harass and intimidate the community. When passing out fliers we witnessed Officer Subler go up to a young Chicano and harass him after he was given a flier for the vigil, at a nearby gas station. The officer asked him what he had in his hand and continued to ask him questions about it. When we started to film and observe he came up to the young woman who is a member of the October Coalition and begin to intimidate her and pulled on her bag, trying to get her bag which contained fliers for the vigil. After we filmed him he wanted to get our names and birthdates and threaten to detain us for filming him. He later left after giving us his name, and after he saw that we knew our "rights."
People in the community have called us and told us that the intimidation and harassment has been growing, and we see this as a means to scare them from coming out to the vigil to demand justice for Chava, and for the terrorism that they're living under on the daily basis in their neighborhood. It is important that people come out to the vigil on February 21st at 5pm, to show solidarity and support the families in this community. We need to continue to build a popular movement against the violence that is coming down from the state on our working class communities of color.
The pot luck that was supposed to happen Friday February 20th has been canceled and we will meet on the day of the vigil at 3pm.
