Show Up for Lisa Davis!
“We are outraged by the targeting of a Ceasefire Sunday attendee, Lisa V. Davis, on March 31, 2024 by the South Orange Police Department. She was issued two citations:
1. “holding a “special event without a permit”
2. “loud, continuous or excessive noise with specific claim of sound amplification equipment.”
These false charges were issued by SOPD after Ms. Davis and other members of our group were verbally assaulted and threatened by an anti-Palestinian passerby as they stood on the sidewalk after the conclusion of a Ceasefire Sunday. We demand that the charges be dropped and an investigation opened into why SOPD decided to press these false charges against an African American woman who was victimized by an aggravated bystander AND for exercising her democratic right to protest.
