That legal process utterly failed; the DA filed no criminal charges against the officers, and the civil case was settled out of court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we have not forgotten. And we won&#8217;t. We are creating a beautiful mural to remind us of this young Guatemalan immigrant&#8217;s story.<br><br>Four years after his killing, on Tuesday, February 26, we will gather once more at the site where Amilcar was killed. We will remember his story and hold his family in Guatemala in our hearts. Then we will walk a short distance to 24th and Capp Streets where Amilcar&#8217;s mural is being created. We will see the latest sketches and hear from Precita Eyes muralist Carla Wojczuk who has been designing the mural with input from the youth from H.O.M.E.Y. And, now that the actual painting is about to begin, we will offer a brief blessing of this work of love.<br><br><strong><br><\/strong>Bring whatever songs, poems, stories, and reflections you may have, and, if you like, a small snack to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About Amilcar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amilcar Perez-Lopez was a 21-year-old&nbsp;Guatemala immigrant shot to the back six times by San Francisco police&nbsp;on February 26, 2015&nbsp;as he was running for his life.<br><br>Amilcar came to the U.S. when he was 17 to earn money for his family in Guatemala. He worked at construction sites and restaurants throughout San Francisco. Friends and coworkers remember him as a hardworking, thoughtful, generous young man. He provided for his family, sending remittances back home, fruit of his hard labor.<br><br>Amilcar is survived by his loving parents and five younger siblings back home in Guatemala. He also had a significant other in San Francisco.&nbsp;His close family and friends&nbsp;affectionately called him \u201cMica\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsor: Justice for Amilcar Perez-Lopez<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/360776951317656\/?active_tab=about\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/360776951317656\/?active_tab=about<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9.&nbsp; Tuesday, 6:00pm \u2013 8:00pm,&nbsp;Meeting of Labor Rise for Climate, Jobs, Justice &amp; Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unite Here Local 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>209 Golden Gate Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this meeting we will decide campaign priorities, including Green New Deal and anti-militarism campaigns, and the Alameda Labor Council Climate Convergence on April 13.

We&#8217;ll meet outside the front entrance of City Hall at 2pm.<br><br>Background: SFPD and the Department of Public Works (DPW), collaborating with the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, have continued the cruel and inhumane practice of &#8220;sweeps&#8221;, forced relocation and property confiscation of those living on the streets. During the last two rainstorms we know that DPW and SFPD confiscated tents, sleeping bags, and survival gear handed out by DSA SF and allies, leaving people with no way to protect themselves from the elements. Very few politicians in SF have been willing to own up to sweeps being official city policy, but Sup. Haney has given us a rare opportunity to spotlight the lack of services available during winter storms and the ensuing sweeps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsor: DSA of SF, Glide, Harvey Milk LGBTQ, Coalition on Homelessnes, Indivisible SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/631169830629609\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/631169830629609\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14.

We are&nbsp;<br>calling for a community boycott of Manny\u2019s (3092 16th at Valencia, SF) because this new upscale wine bar is yet another gentrifying attack on our community. While Manny\u2019s bills itself as a \u201ccommunity space\u201d, it\u2019s marketed toward white ruling class techies, and its programming often features right-wing politicians who are supported by the luxury condo industry. While Manny\u2019s is on the ground floor of a low-income building run by Mission Housing, its residents had no say in its placement. While countless Latinx cultural spaces are evicted from the Mission, Sam Moss who runs Mission Housing, gave Manny\u2019s a reduced rent.&nbsp;<br><br>The owner of Manny\u2019s has worked with Bay Area Zionist organizations. Zionism is a racist ideology that believes Palestinian people have no claim to their land. Zionists, through the state of Israel, enforce this ideology by murdering, arresting, torturing, and displacing generations of Palestinian people. We stand against Zionism, gentrification, anti-Semitism, and all other forms of oppression.&nbsp;<br><br>Manny\u2019s is part of a systematic attempt to make gentrification and racism seem \u201ccool\u201d through woke-washing. Woke-washing is the strategy of putting a \u201csocial justice\u201d fa\u00e7ade on oppressive politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>JOIN US EVERY WEDNESDAY 6:30PM&nbsp;<br><br>Endorsed by&nbsp;<br>Black and Brown for Peace Justice and Equality;&nbsp;<br>The Lucy Parsons Project;&nbsp;<br>Palestinian Youth Movement &#8211; Bay Area;&nbsp;<br>Brown Beret National Organization;&nbsp;<br>National Brown Berets;&nbsp;<br>International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network;&nbsp;<br>Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism;&nbsp;<br>Jews Against Zionism;&nbsp;<br>GAY SHAME: A Virus in the System&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Please honor this Boycott!
