<http://www.peopleshearing.wordpress.com>The People's Hearing is an 
expression of the outrage over the string of Police murders in 
Oakland and the Bay Area preceding and following Oscar Grants' 
murder.  The aim of the People's Hearing is to eliminate the 
isolation of the victims of police brutality, unite the peoples and 
communities targeted by the governments' repressive policies and 
practices, and to link local struggles for social justice and human 
rights with national and international struggles.

Confirmed jurists include John Burris, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, David 
Gespass, Ajamu Baraka, Bill Ong Hing, Alberto Saldamando and others.
