Friday, Jan. 9, 2009, on my radio show, Wanda's Picks, we spoke about the murder of Oscar Grant III at the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland. 100 people were arrested Wednesday, Jan. 7, at the afternoon rally/protest march. The following day, 1/8 there was a hearing at BART headquarters and Friday, Jan. 9, at 2 p.m. there will be hearings in room 107 in the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland. Call the Alameda County DA's office at (510) 272-6222 or fax him at (510) 271-5157, and demand the police officer, Johannes Mehserle, who resigned and remains at large to be charged and arrested for this murder. Mehserle be arrested and charged with murder. You don’t have to live in Alameda County to voice your outrage. The second part of my show was a conversation with Ida McCray and her daughter Nia Skyes, about California's Incarcerated mothers and their children, who are they and why should we care. Ida founded Families with a Future and Nia works for California Coalition for Women Prisoners.
