2 Years & Still No Justice – Oct. 22nd-Celebrate the Life of Andy Lopez on the 2nd Anniversary of his Killing
Celebrate the Life of Andy Lopez
Thursday, Oct. 22nd, 4:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Remember Andy Lopez at a picket line in front of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, at a rosary and at a potluck.
Two years after the killing of Andy Lopez by Deputy Erik Gelhaus, we are still waiting for justice. On the 2nd anniversary of his death, you can honor Andy’s memory in several ways.
At 4:00 p.m. we will be picketing in front of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, 2796 Ventura Ave., Santa Rosa.
Since Andy’s killing there have been many more deaths and continuing violence and torture at the county jail. This is what happens when public officials are allowed to get away with murder.
At 7:00 p.m. there will be a rosary for Andy at Andy’s Park (Moorland and West Robles). This is a moving and loving tribute to Andy. Please bring candles.
Following the rosary, there will be a community potluck.
The powers-that-be are hoping that we will go away. Please come show your love for Andy and your solidarity with the community. Come say “We aren’t going anywhere until there is justice for Andy!”

Let #afropessimism be a start, an opening to conversations about the condition of Black people in this world. It doesn't have to be the end.
