Phone banking for Oregon DA for the People

We will also be partnering with Oregon DA for the People to do a phone bank the next evening in memory of Keaton, May 13th 6-8 pm.

Registration: http://bit.ly/ORDAphonebanking 

Keaton's Father, Fred Bryant, died trying to get justice for his son. The District Attorney would never entertain his case. 

Join Oregon DA for the People to phone bank in remembrance of Black Loved One Keaton Otis. You'll be calling Showing Up for Racial Justice supporters (i.e. not cold calling) to ask if they'll sign on to the Oregon DA for the People platform. No matter who's elected, Oregon DA for the People will present these signatures along with the people's demands to the next DA.

Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by Portland police May 12, 2010. Every month since his murder a vigil has been held at the spot he died. Started by his father Fred Bryant in his mission to get justice for his son, the community continues to this day the vigils after Fred passed away in 2013.
