11/15 (in person, Maplewood NJ) 1pm - Show up for Lisa Davis! (Newark Solidarity Coalition and partners)

Friday, November 15, 1:00 PM EST - in person at South Orange Municipal Court, 1618 Springfield Ave., Maplewood NJ

Show Up for Lisa Davis!

Save the date! We call on the state of New Jersey and the South Orange prosecutor to drop the bogus charges against Lisa Davis. Lisa attended our protest and reported an incident of harassment to SOPD. She then received a citation in the mail for organizing a rally without a permit and using amplification and causing disruption - neither of which is true.

We are concerned local SOMa citizens who gather weekly for what began as “Ceasefire Sunday” to call on our representatives to support a ceasefire and raise awareness about the genocide for people living in their suburban bubbles. We had been gathering for months when the South Orange permit process was then weaponized against us. On March 31, a Zionist man illegally parked his car, got out and began to irately scream nonsense at us - and instead of just taking Lisa’s statement, SOPD harassed Lisa further in an effort to curtail our first amendment right to protest a genocide. This is lawfare and racial profiling. Absolutely shameful of our local “Blue” Liberal Democrat run community.
