THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. SHOW UP, MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT.
On Friday night, 19-year-old Jorge Steven López Mercado was found dead on the streets of Puerto Rico.
He was decapitated.
He was dismembered.
His remains were set on fire.
Please join us in your local contingent of a multi-city vigil honoring the memory of Steven and others like him. The vigils will be filmed and edited together to lobby for full prosecution of the murder suspect, who has been apprehended.
As a US territory, Puerto Rico is subject to the hate crimes legislation just passed in Congress and signed into law by President Obama. Whether this provision is applied in this case depends on pressure from YOU. Univisión has taped remarks from a police officer saying that because Steven was a queer sex worker, he should have known that he could expect something like this.
