In Benton Harbor, Michigan, residents won a recall vote of a corrupt city commissioner

through a successful campaign led by BANCO (Black Autonomy Network

Community Organization). Then, in an attempt to circumvent the will of the people,

the vote was overturned by a local judge. In a further outrage, community leader

Rev. Edward Pinkney of BANCO was arrested on trumped-up charges of alleged

vote fraud. He faces a possible sentence of twenty years. His trial is set for March 15.

BANCO won't back down and we need your help. We can't let authorities

disenfranchise voters and squash dissent in Benton Harbor, or anywhere.
