4/10 Pasadena, CA: Protest Pasadena PD shooting and Killing 19-year-old
Black college student Kendrec McDade
Dear Friends:
On March 24th, Kendrec McDade an unarmed 19-year-old Black college
student and former Azuza High School football standout was killed by Pasadena
police. Kendrec was falsely accused of committing a robbery with a gun. He
was chased by police, cornered in an alley and shot in the dark by 2 police
officers 10 times.
As you can imagine the hearts of Kendrec’s family are broken at this
brutal murder and they along with concerned community members are calling for
justice; we join them in asking for your support. Hank Jones of the SF 8 has
forwarded the information below about a protest to take place on Tuesday
April 10th. Organizers are asking people to wear hoodies if possible.

Each and every day, those of us who are people of color and/or who have
children of color know the daily terror that racial profiling brings. Kendrec
’s murder took place within the context of the Trayvon Martin murder in
Sanford, Florida and among others the murder of a 68-year-old Black Veteran
shot down in his own home by police in White Plains New York. These
murders, including the shootings last week that targeted 5 Black men in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, are part of the brutal history of lynchings and other murders, as
well as the dangers of walking, running or driving while Black or Brown; all
results of outright racism and/or racial profiling.
Our hearts go out to Kendrec’s parents and other loved ones. As mothers,
daughters, sisters, wives we all too often have to be at the forefront of
pressing for justice at these miscarriages of justice.
