CFOW Vigil on Saturday
June 6, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Concerned Families of Westchester (CFOW) will hold a silent vigil/memorial for George Floyd, Kenneth Chamberlain, and other black people killed by the police – on Saturday, at the VFW Plaza (Warburton Ave. in Hastings) from 11 AM to noon. Please join us.
As you may remember, Kenneth Chamberlain was killed by White Plains police in his own home nine years ago. Against the wishes of Mr. Chamberlain, the police – responding an accidental medical alert signal – knocked down his apartment door, tased, and then shot him. His son, Kenneth Chamberlain, Jr., has pursued justice ever since; and the legal case against the police has recently been reinstated by the courts, after an initial rejection. To learn more about the Chamberlain murder and law suit, check out this excellent program broadcast on Democracy Now! earlier this week – https://www.democracynow.org/2020/6/3/kenneth_chamberlain_sr_2011_police_killing.
Please join us Saturday to stand against police violence everywhere.
