FOR PLANNING PURPOSES
PHILADELPHIA, PA - Save Our Kids Alliance will hold a press conference to protest today's Daily News Cartoon - a virtual advertisement promoting Michael Nutter's proposal to stop and frisk citizens at random. The cartoon features a smiling Chaka Fattah and black children with bullet holes in their chests. Next to the cartoon is a www.philly.com web page link promoting Michael Nutter.
Fattah, and every mayoral candidate, has criticized Nutter's proposal, saying it would lead to racial profiling. The Daily News, which has endorsed Nutter, has engaged in biased reporting that targets Fattah while providing free advertising for Michael Nutter.
JOIN US FOR A PRESS CONFERENCE TO DENOUNCE THIS OFFENSIVE CARTOON AND DAILY NEWS BIASED REPORTING FOR MICHAEL NUTTER.
WHO: State Sen. Vincent Hughes, Bishop Leonard C. Goins, Rev. Fred Clarkson, Ray Jones, Dorothy Johnson-Speight,
and other prominent members of the community.WHERE: City Hall, West Side
WHEN: Friday, May 11, 2007
NOTE: State Sen. Vincent Hughes and Members of the Save Our Kids Alliance will be available for interviews.
