Rev. Pinkney's Life, Work and Persecution

The Life, Work, and Persecution of Rev. Edward Pinkney
October 29, 2014, 7pm to 9pm EDT, call-in number (347) 857-3293 for "Human Rights Demand" channel on Blogtalkradio

YOU are invited to celebrate the life and work of Rev. Edward Pinkney and object to his wrongful prosecution. Rev. Pinkney is a renowned human rights activist who inspires exploited people to resist oppression in Benton Harbor, Michigan, throughout America, and internationally. He has fought injustice and tyranny for decades and experienced many victories for the People. Rev. Pinkney stands against the marriage of government and corporations as well as aggressive policing tactics, regardless of personal risks. "The Life, Work, and Persecution of Rev. Pinkney" radio broadcast is an opportunity to learn more about Rev. Pinkney and show support as he faces election fraud charges before an all-white jury in Berrien County, Michigan. It was probably no accident that Rev. Pinkney's trial began on October 27, his birthday.

Rev. Pinkney's prosecution stems from his organizing a recall petition for Benton Harbor's mayor, who is perceived to work for corporate interests and not Benton Harbor constituents. Since the prosecution admits there is no evidence connecting Pinkney to election fraud, we must assume that Pinkney is being prosecuted because of his many years of human rights advocacy. Therefore, he is being persecuted as a representative of the People, and the People must respond.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'" Thousands of Rev. Pinkney's supporters are not able to travel to Berrien County Courthouse to support him this week. It is right for us to unite and publicly support this human and civil rights luminary on radio. Let your voices be heard!

Please limit your statements to two minutes. Please introduce yourself and tell why you support Rev. Pinkney. For example, "My name is Mary Neal. I am director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill and the Human Rights for Prisoners March. I support Rev. Pinkney because he speaks truth to power and gives a voice to the voiceless. I am grateful for his Sunday radio shows, which he faithfully makes available as a community platform."

Rev. Pinkney and his family will be interviewed during the first 45 minutes of the broadcast on October 29. Guest speakers will include Ralph Poynter, Larry Pinkney, Randy Short, Rozy Wow and many callers from the public who use this opportunity to voice their support of Rev. Pinkney.

We don't have to rely on mainstream media to publish information about Rev. Pinkney's "Life, Work, and Persecution" in a favorable light. Please share the link to Wednesday's broadcast with your contacts, and invite callers to phone in their support for Rev. Pinkney. They will have several opportunities to speak during the broadcast, with two minutes for each caller. Thank you for participating. Blessings.

SPECIAL GUESTS frequently join the shows with:

• Rev. Pinkney, director of the BH BANCO Organization, the People's Pastor who was once arrested for quoting a Bible verse, former and future candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, political activist and organizer uniting people of all races and socio-economic backgrounds to bring power to the people through nonviolent social action
• Ralph Poynter, co-host, a retired New York City school teacher and legal investigator, union organizer, political activist, husband of Lynne Stewart, an imprisoned former attorney and renowned political activist
• Elizabeth ("Libby") Hunter gives regular reports about the quest for democracy in Benton Harbor
• Rozy Press, retired LA County school teacher, education and disability activist
• Mary Neal (yours truly), founder/director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI). AIMI is an online group with roughly 300 members advocating to decriminalize mental illness, end capital punishment, reduce mass incarceration, eliminate racism and class consciousness in the justice system, and promote liberty and justice for all - Phone 678.531.0262 and they will likely play a false message saying circuits busy, phone disconnected, message inbox full, or simply give three short beeps and a hang-up, which is what police officers heard when they called my number. I am "America's Most Censored - Mary Neal." (Google that title.)  I ask decision makers to please treat others as they wish to be treated. That message was not tolerated from Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago, and it is not warmly received today. But God likes it, so He sent me to the Rev. Pinkney Show where we have a large and growing audience!

RECENT TOPICS include:

• The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), friend or foe to Africans in America? 
• The NAACP recently dropped a class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo Bank, which was filed on behalf of homeowners who were victimized by predatory lending. The civil action was apparently dropped after Wells Fargo agreed to sponsor the NAACP's 101st convention.  
• The NAACP held a special election in Benton Harbor, Michigan on August 16, 2012, to oust Rev. Pinkney from his position as president of the Twin City NAACP chapter.  The organization that should be devoted to democratic elections omitted placing the incumbent president's name on the ballot in order to ensure that Rev. Pinkney was replaced with a new NAACP president who would not lead demonstrations against corporate greed and government misdeeds.
• Hundreds of people burn their NAACP cards in a "BURN BABY BURN" ceremony during each broadcast 
• Benton Harbor's takeover by an emergency manager appointed by the governor. All elected officials were essentially fired, making Benton Harbor the first city in America with taxation without representation since the Revolutionary War. Rev. Pinkney reports that 200 more city managers are in training, perhaps including one for your city
• NDAA, the bill the president signed into law on December 31, 2011, that allows for Americans and immigrants to be imprisoned in military concentration camps without the White House naming any crimes and without giving detainees any opportunity to defend themselves in courts of law 
• Judge K. Forrest, United States District Court in Manhattan, declared indefinite military detention without due process of law unconstitutional in May 2012. The Obama administration filed a request for reconsideration, which Judge Forrest denied. On August 7, 2012, the Obama administration appealed Judge Forrest's ruling to a higher court 
• ACTA, the treaty the president signed in November 2011 that pertains to international intelligence properties protections. If fully ratified, the treaty will allow other countries, including China, to have a measure of control over what Americans can put or keep online
• Internet censorship, persecution and prosecution of whistleblowers, and other violations against human and civil rights
• Public schools being replaced by privately-owned charter schools and privatization of jails, prisons, other public institutions
• political prisoners
• workers' rights
• disability rights, especially decriminalizing mental illness and ending brutality and deaths of mentally challenged persons due to violence under the color of law
• increasing incidents of police violence
• mass incarceration and human rights for prisoners
• anti-death penalty activism
• juvenile justice issues
• wrongful convictions
• disparity in sentencing related to defendants' race and class distinctions
• current and upcoming opportunities to peacefully unite and resist oppression through mass demonstrations such as the Occupy movement and Benton Harbor's Occupy the PGA rally that was held  May 23-27, "Occupy the PGA"

UNITY among people who value justice for all can save America. 

"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11:6)
