Amilcar Perez-Lopez was a 21-year-old Ch’orti’ Mayan immigrant from Guatemala<\/strong><\/em>. He arrived in the U.S. when he was 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was a worker at construction sites and restaurants throughout San Francisco. Friends and coworkers remember him as a hardworking, thoughtful, generous young man. Amilcar was a provider for his family, sending remittances back home, fruit of his hard labor. He was affectionately called \u201cMica\u201d by his close family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SFPD plainclothes officers Craig Tiffe and Eric Reboli killed Amilcar Perez-Lopez. SFPD told reporters that Amilcar had been trying to steal someone\u2019s bike and then lunged \u2013 with a knife in his hand \u2013 at plainclothes officers before the officers opened fire. A key witness testifies that Amilcar Perez-Lopez was unarmed when killed by the SFPD <\/p>\n\n\n\n The autopsy report, released on April 24, 2015, reveals that Perez-Lopez was shot six times \u2013 4 in the back, 1 in the arm and 1 in the head \u2013 after having dropped a knife and while attempting to run away from police, contradicting police statements that they were being attacked by Lopez and acted in self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Excerpts above from: https:\/\/justice4amilcar.org\/amilcar-story\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Info for Vigil from Dwight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Adrienne Fong Not back posting on a regular basis.

SF City Hall
1 Dr. Carleton B. Goodlett Pl
SF <\/h1>\n\n\n\nThe situation is urgent. The mayor is proposing such drastic cuts to SF Environment Department’s budget that:
\u2022 Critical climate work to reduce emissions will stop.
\u2022 Staff with years of climate-action expertise will lose their jobs.
\u2022 Millions in future grants are at risk.
Since 2022-23, SF Environment Dept. (SFE) has brought in $29 for every $1 invested. Spending on SFE is leverage, not overhead.
People expect San Francisco to lead – but in the climate crisis we are going backwards. San Franciscans need to know what’s really happening.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nThe buck stops with Mayor Lurie. Remind him!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
We are a coalition of individuals who belong to various environmental groups across the city, all sharing the same ultimate goal: saving our planet and our community from catastrophic climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCarthyism never died \u2014 it evolved. Today a familiar playbook comes roaring back. A new wave of suppression by the Trump regime adds terrorist-baiting and demands loyalty to every tenet of white supremacy, patriarchy, xenophobia, and transphobia. In this discussion group, we will study the history of resistance to McCarthyism to arm ourselves with strategies for today. Together we will answer: How do we go on the offense against government attacks to our rights and our lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
