The RMT has organised a meeting to discuss 'racism, the state and the police.'
Please print and distribute the flyer amongst your colleagues and friends.
This special meeting aims to secure your solidarity. The meeting will cover the case of Sean Rigg and Christopher Alder. Sean, a young and talented musician died shortly after being detained by Brixton polive in 2008. Why he died remains unanswered.
Christopher Alder died in police custody in 1998. An inquest in 2001 recorded his death as unlawful killing. A year later, a court cleared the five police officers of manslaughter and misconduct.

The RMT Young Members Conference took place last month.
