The NYPD killed another unarmed black man, Koran Irvine, on Tuesday. That the killer cop was retired doesn’t matter. The bottom line is: just being black and driving home from a hard day of work makes the racist pigs think they have a free license to snuff out your life with no consequence. The former cop, Victor Romero, shot Irvine and then fled. He let Irvine bleed out because he knew he could get away with it. Indeed, Mamdani’s courts just released the killer to go home. Meanwhile, Irvine’s family and coworkers are left in anguish and wanting justice. Irvine was just 46 years old, a 20-year veteran ConEd worker and father of two. This shows exactly why the fight against black oppression is a working-class fight. We can’t let them get away with this! ConEd and other workers should mobilize to protest this atrocity. OPA now!

Victims & Fighters Against Police Violence Speak Out! Join us for a panel discussion on Police Accountability and the Fight for Justice at the Chicago Teachers Center. Panelists will include: Brian Mendis – OPA organizer and Midwest PDC representative Elizabeth Toledo – Mother of Adam Toledo. Adam was 13 years old in 2021 when Chicago cops gunned him down in cold blood as he faced the cop with empty hands raised in the air. Chantell Brooks – Mother of Michael Westley. 15-year-old Michael was shot down by Chicago cops in 2013. Michael was gunned down as he was running down the street in gym shorts. Cops claimed he had two guns, but no gun is visible in the video moments before he was murdered. In response to the video, Brooks noted, “Anybody in their right mind know you can barely hold keys or a phone or anything in gym shorts and run that fast.” Cara Wilson – Cara is the mother of Alexis Wilson. 19-year-old Alexis went to a fast-food drive thru weeks before entering college. The police were called when Alexis became upset and had a verbal exchange with a restaurant employee. She refused to get out of the vehicle because she was improperly dressed. One cop punched her through the open driver side window while another jumped into the passenger side and shot her seven times. No gun was found on the scene but that didn’t stop cops from lying, claiming that she had one to justify this brutal execution. Jasmine Smith – Co-chair of Campaign to Free Incarcerated Survivors of Torture and Co-chair of Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression Clayborn Smith – on leadership team of We The Survivors. As a young man, Clayborn was arrested for allegedly killing his grandparents and beaten into giving a false confession by one of Jon Burge’s crew. Burge became infamous for his brutal team of cops known for beating and torturing their “suspects” to obtain confessions. Clayborn was one of those victims. Framed up for a crime he did not commit, he spent nearly 30 years in prison. He now dedicates his life to helping others in his situation. Join us on October 27, 5:30pm, Room 126 at the CTU Center, 1901 W. Carroll Ave., Chicago

Outrage isn’t enough! We need labor/black action! Justice for Kohen Wiley! Not even black babies are exempt from the racist terror of the Mississippi police. This should be a wake-up call for activists, militant workers and everyone who wants to fight Trump reaction. The protest that has happened pales in comparison to the level of the atrocities committed by cops who brutalize and blow away black people all the time. Whose child will they be “justified” in killing next? Ever since the liberals and Democrats turned their backs on the black struggle, much of the left has done the same. The left must get it together to put the fight against racist cop terror at the center of a wider pushback against Trump’s attacks. Kill-crazy cops getting away with murder just emboldens kill-crazy ICE agents to get away with murder and encourages witch-hunts against the left. These are the same racist thugs in blue who will be unleashed on workers if they get out of line. Beating back these attacks will take a real mobilization in the streets, one with the social power to make the cops think twice. The Mississippi police are notorious for their crimes. Recall the sadistic torture of Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker at the hands of the “goon squad.” These heinous crimes are not isolated to red states either. Just last week, NYC Democratic Mayor Mamdani protected the cop who killed Win Rozario and the ICE agents who shot Oscar Belgal. The killing of Kohen Wiley doesn’t show why we need Democrats in office—it shows why we need to fight for labor/black power in this country. The evidence is so damning that the state won’t even release the video of the shooting! Why? Because it would risk sparking mass revolt to see Kohen killed in the arms of his mother and expose the kinds of crimes cops get away with all the time. Release the Footage!

7 years ago Allan Feliz was killed by NYPD for not wearing a seat belt. His family has been waging an unrelenting battle against 3 Democratic mayors and 6 police commissioners (including BFF Mamdani/Tisch) for a basic ask: Fire Killer Cop Rivera! Instead, he was promoted. To get justice for Allan, the movement against cop terror must be rebuilt. As a start: Open All Police Archives! Find out more about Allan Feliz's case and many others at opanow.org
