OXNARD October 22: PROTEST to Stop Police Brutality/22 de Octubre: Protesta para Parar la Brutalidad Policial Public Event
‘Since 1996, communities throughout the United States have marked October 22nd as a National Day of Protest bringing together those under the gun and those not under the gun as a powerful voice to expose the epidemic of police brutality. October 22 is a day of resistance by those who reject humiliation at the hands of the police, and refuse to be subject to violence & profiling because of their ethnicity, country of origin, or working class econo
mic status.With the struggle of Oxnard residents to gain justice for police brutality victims such as Robert Ramirez finally coming to light, the Todo Poder al Pueblo Collective is proud to mark the very FIRST October 22 Protest in Oxnard and the Ventura County region.

Desde 1996, las comunidades en todo Estados Unidos han marcado el 22 de octubre como el Día Nacional de Protesta que reúne a los que han sido victimas, al igual que los que aun no lo han sido, en una voz poderosa para exponer la epidemia de brutalidad policial. El 22 de octubre es un día de resistencia de aquellos que rechazan la humillación a manos de la policía, se niegan a ser víctimas de la violencia y del perfil racial, país de origen o estatus económico de clase trabajadora.
Con la lucha de los residentes de Oxnard para obtener justicia para las víctimas de la brutalidad policial, como Robert Ramirez que finalmente se ha logrado reconocer, el Colectivo Todo Poder al Pueblo orgullosamente marca el primer 22 de octubre como Protesta en Oxnard y la región del Condado de Ventura.

“Ramirez’s family and their lawyer have said police beat him as he overdosed on meth, keeping him in handcuffs and hitting him on his face and body when medical attention might have saved his life.
Police have said they did not strike Ramirez and did everything they could to get him needed medical care.“

COMMUNITY MARCH TO THE OXNARD CITY COUNCIL TO DEMAND JUSTICE FOR ROBERT RAMIREZ AND ALL VICTIMS OF POLICE BRUTALITY
What: March Against Police Brutality
When: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 5:00 PM
Where: Del Sol Park, Oxnard CA (Corner of Rose Ave & Camino del Sol)
We will gather at Camino del Sol Park before marching through the Colonia neighborhood to the Oxnard City Council Meeting downtown. We will demand justice for the brutal death of Robert Ramirez, who died in the custody of the Oxnard Police. We will also demand that the police budget be compared to the budget for community services such as youth programs, parks/recreation, and public transportation. The gang injunctions and similar military-style attacks on our neighborhoods must also be re-evaluated.

HOJA de DATOS/Fact Sheet: https://todopoderalpueblo.org/2012/08/21/fact-sheethoja-de-datos-robert-ramirez/
The City of Oxnard’s corruption has been publicly, humiliatingly exposed on the statewide and national levels time and again from 2011-2012. The people are now demanding that it must be held accountable for the Oxnard Police Department’s brutal practices in our neighborhoods which have culminated in the tragic death of Robert Ramirez, aged 26. Past attempts to place police brutality on the agenda of the Community Relations Commission (CRC) have been met with concerted obstruction on the part of the City, thus we will take our demands to the City Council.
The people of Oxnard will no longer be shoved around. Community organizations such as the Todo Poder al Pueblo Collective have pledged to continue organizing actions to expose the ongoing patterns of police brutality such as that which claimed young Ramirez’s life.

OUR DEMANDS:
• HANDS OFF OUR YOUTH: No more beatings, profiling, or harassment!
• Crooks and killers must step down and be held accountable to the people of Oxnard
• Compare police budget to social services budget. We need money for services (parks and recreation, public transportation, youth programs), not the militarization of our community!
• Re-Evaluate the Gang Injunction and mandatory 30-day impound of unlicensed motorists’ cars
• Put Police Misconduct and Brutality on the City Council Agenda
• Establish a fully independent Community Police Complaint Review Board with the power to take strong action to address these problems
