Marlyn Barnes would have been 32 years old this Thursday if he hadn’t died in Harford County Jail

Let’s show his family and all prisoners still locked up that we care.

Join the Prisoners Solidarity Caravan

PLEASE SIGN UP AND SHARE 

Marlyn Barnes would have been 32 years old this Thursday, if he had not died in custody at the Harford County Detention Center.   The jail claims he committed suicide, but his family has not gotten the answers they need from the authorities and they continue to fight for truth and justice in his case.  The number of suicide deaths at Harford County are alarming, just this past month another prisoner allegedly died as a result of suicide. 

Marlyn’s family and the Peoples Power Assembly and Prisoners Solidarity Committee have continued to press for answers and in the midst of this pandemic and to amplify the demands of prisoners locked up Maryland jails who have demanded PPE, adequate showers, soap, hand sanitizer and much more.  

We have joined the national movement in demanding #FreeThemAll.

You can help by joining the Thursday, May 14, car caravan at 4 pm from the Harriet Tubman Solidarity Center, to the local City Jail Complex and then to Marlyn Barnes’ neighborhood in West Baltimore.  We will then participate in a 32 minute caravan to represent how old Barnes would be if he was alive today.

Let’s show his family and the prisoners still locked up that we care.  SIGN UP AND SHARE WITH FRIENDS.  This is important; even if you can’t actually physically participate, it helps to share, post to Facebook, twitter, Instagram, to increase awareness and build support.

We will also have signs calling for Justice for Ahmaud Arbery!

If you can drive or come – here are the instructions:

Gather and stage ourselves at 20th and N. Charles Streets, Baltimore, MD 21218 at 4 pm to decorate cars and get signs.  Wear your mask or scarf and physical distance; please be safe.  

We will  have a lead car, proceed and leave no later than 4:45 pm, and drive with our lights on similar to a funeral procession.

Thank you so much on behalf of the Barnes family.

Stay safe and huge distancing hug from the Peoples Power Assembly
