    (Video) March Against Police Brutality and NYPD Stop & Frisk - NYC, 2/4/12 »

    Jateik Reed Rahmarley Graham #MARCHFORJUSTICE #F4 #STOPPOLICEBRUTALITY #STOPSTOPANDFRISK (by RhodesPictures)


    In Bronx, New York, February 4th 2012 the 13th anniversary of the NYPD murder of Amadou Diallo, the beating of Jatiek Reed and the murder of Rahmarley Graham lead to a Rally for Justice to raise awareness for the ongoing crisis going in this city.

    In 2011 nearly 350,000 of the marijuana possession arrests were overwhelming young Black and Latino men. In 2011 nearly 430,000 black and Latino youth were innocent victims of stop and frisk. With almost 60 schools closing in this city, Mayor Bloomberg and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly’s failed policy of harassing, incarcerating and murdering of our youth is jeopardizing the future of this city.

    #J13 #OCCUPYMUSEUMS #OCCUPYWALLSTREET - MoMA BANNER DROP @ DIEGO RIVERA 

    MoMA is exhibiting work from one of the most renowned Mexican painters of the twentieth century, Diego Rivera. Diego influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the Russian Revolution, believed that art should play a role in empowering working people to understand their own histories. Meanwhile MoMA buys and sells millions of dollars in art at Sotheby’s auction house. Sotheby’s has locked out 43 Local 814 union art handlers, claiming they are unable to negotiate a new contract with them. “The auctioneer proposed cutting the handlers’ workweek to 36 1/4 hours from 38 3/4 hours and increasing the number of temporary laborers, according to both sides. The union said new work rules would decrease eligibility for overtime, resulting in take-home pay declining 5 percent to 15 percent. Temporary workers without medical or pension benefits would replace unionized art handlers as they retire or find other jobs. Chief Executive Officer William Ruprecht, yearly salary doubled in 2010 to $6 million dollars.”

    MORE COMING SOON

    ——

    A documentary about historical Hip Hop spots in New York City, featuring Kid Creole and Kevin “La Von” Dukes members of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

    ——

    We hope to expand on this project towards the eventual goal of a full-length feature documentary. Also we hope for a future campaign to preserve (if not possible, acknowledge) these historical locations that contributed to the birth of Hip Hop.

    During the late to mid 1970s during high unemployment, crime and drug addiction, Rap was an outlet for young brothers and sisters to do something positive as well as a way to channel their frustration and anger.

         Places in the Bronx like Forest Playground, J.H.S. 118, T-Connection, The Black Door, Disco Fever and many other clubs and venues served as an economic opportunity for youth to escape poverty by expressing themselves.

            Hip Hop is now a global phenomenon, however in the beginning Rap was an art form developed by poor people and performed for poor people. It should be our responsibility to preserve such an important moment in American cultural history.

    MORE DETAILS ON HOW YOU CAN HELP IS COMING SOON. STAY TUNED.

    CATCH SOME GREAT SHORT FILMS PRESENTED BY ROOFTOP FILMS

    Brooklyn documentary collective UnionDocs is opening its doors to a series of short films and multimedia projects from activists and filmmakers who documented the Occupy Wall Street movement or other activist actions. 

    The Films:

    OWS Photos (Adrian Kinloch)

    Right Here All Over (Alexander Mallis)
    A new angle on Occupy Wall Street reveals the strong micro community that has formed there. 

    Between the Banks (Hank Linhart)
    On May 1st, 1980, myself and three others installed about 300 army helmets at 7:30 AM at Chase Manhattan Plaza. The plaza is situated between several banks. We documented the illegal installation in super8. In 2004 I put the footage together into a 9 minute B&W film. Its more of a document than a documentary. In the end a security guard escorts me through the helmets to be arrested. It is a distant forerunner to the later occupation movement.
    —Hank Linhart

    Monday Morning in Zuccotti Park (Steve Bognar)
    A simple short about an early morning in the park. 

    Occupy Wall Street (Martha Colburn)
    Music by ZOMBY. made with the help of Tricia Gray. Shot on SUPER 8 and 16mm.

    Bankers for Economic Justice (Adele Pham)
    This is a very common scene down at Broadway and Liberty. Truly makes me hopeful, and I’m the cynical hippie!
    —Adele Pham

    Occupy Atlanta - Day and Night (Adele Pham)
    Adele Pham, Ira Mckinley, and Messiah Rhodes are on the road visiting occupations in Ithaca, Albany, Wall Street, DC, Durham, and Atlanta. This is one of several videos that we will post about the movement. #OCCUPYATLANTA has had it’s share of triumphs and controversies, we arrived after the occupation was cleared from Troy Davis Park (formerly Woodruff Park) and over 52 protesters were arrested. The world is watching to see what ATLANTA will do next.
    —Adele Pham

    Tent Monsters (Occupy Melbourne)
    All our parks belong to us. 

    Fist Bump with Cops (Rumur, Inc.)

    OCCUPY YOUR HOMES - Homeowners Speak Out (Messiah Rhodes)
    Two homeowners, Jean Cassine of Queens Village and Mimi Pierre Johnson of Elmont, describe how the foreclosure crisis has caused angst and frustation for themselves, as well as their communities. They have been fighting for years to keep their homes and see the Occupy movement as an opportunity for others to do the same. 

    Occupy the DOE (Meerkat Media)
    The Panel for Education Policy (or PEP), enacts policy for the New York City Dept. of Education - every member is appointed, not elected. A plurality of these voting members are selected by the Mayor directly. The PEP replaced the Board of Education when Mayor Bloomberg took control of the schools in 2002. It is intended to be a democratic forum where people voice concerns, prior to the panel’s vote on educational policy. Today the panel is convening to discuss new standards being implemented in schools. 200 parents, teachers staff and students are in attendance.

    We The People Have Found Our Voice (Iva Radivojevic)
    If it’s our sharing that makes us powerful, why return to normal? 
    This life is more worth living than the one we left behind.
    —Leaflet, Solidarity March with Occupy Wall Street, October 5, 2011
