BROOKLYN, NY— In the past few months CHALLENGE has been covering the racist murder of Kyam Livingston, a 37-year-old worker and mother who died in a cell in Brooklyn Central Booking on July 21, 2013. She was ill and crying out in pain for over seven hours while her pleas, and the pleas for help from people in the cell with her, were ignored.  
Her family is demanding answers: the surveillance tapes of the cell, the names of the jailers who callously allowed her to die, the prosecution of those jailers, and a real and thorough investigation of conditions in Central Booking to change the culture of cruelty and indifference to the working class.
The next event in this campaign for justice will be a Community Speakout to air other stories of racist treatment and dehumanization under the “justice” system of U.S. capitalism. All are invited to attend and add to the event.
Community Speakout on Tuesday, January 21 from 6:00-9:00 PM
Flatbush Dutch Reform Church
890 Flatbush Avenue (at Church Avenue)
