CLEVELAND, Ohio- Community activists, led by the Oppressed People's Nation, the Imperial Women Coalition, the Greater Cleveland Immigrant Support Network, Puncture the Silence and Revolution Books, will rally at 5 pm on Thursday, Dec 11 at the intersection of Ansel and Superior Roads  in Cleveland where Tanisha Anderson was killed by Cleveland police some three weeks ago.

Anderson, who was Black,  was slammed to the sidewalk and killed after police allegedly came to the family home following a  non-violent mental health disturbance. The family said that they sought an ambulance through a 9-11- call, but police came instead. Police killed Anderson when she objected by slamming her to the sidewalk,. the family said.

Last week the U.S. Department of Justice announced a scathing report of systemic problems in the Cleveland Police Department, from police killings to cruel and unusual punishment against the mentally ill. For more information call (216) 659-0473.
