As the dust settles from the largest Civil Rights demonstration of this era, the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense will remain in Jena, LA to protect the families of the Jena 6 and other black residents.

Members of the organization, led by Malik Shabazz, Esq. will be spearheading a coalition consisting of party members, the Millions More Movement, Jena residents, black Muslims and other civil rights organizations. The end result is the Security and Protection Committee of the Jena 6 (SPC-Jena 6).

The coalition will patrol the streets around the clock, providing personal security for the families involved.

Last week, it was revealed that several white supremacist websites posted the names, addresses and phone numbers of the Jena 6 families on the internet, urging other whites "to do Justice to the Jena 6."

The families of the six high school students accused of beating a white student have received numerous phone calls—ranging from harassment to actual threats of violence. The FBI has investigated the matter and Jena police have refused to provide protection to the families, prompting the creation of the coalition.

"As Black leadership, we have a moral and ethical obligation to secure the safety and security of the Jena 6 families and the Black residents of Jena Louisiana," Shabazz said of the situation in a statement.

"The New Black Panther Party, the Millions More Movement, and other volunteers from Civil rights organizations will spearhead a nationwide call to provide security, patrols and protection for the families and residents over the upcoming months."

Shabazz also spoke of the repercussions of the Sept. 20 rally in Jena, which some say, has caused an even larger divide between blacks and whites in the small town.

"This threat is real. [The rally], which we were a part of organizing, has created a resentment and backlash in certain quarters of the white community in Jena. In the spirit of the Deacons of Defense, we intend to exercise our full range of legal rights of defense and protection to ensure that this very real threat of violence is neutralized. I want to be clear, in the name of God we as black men will not stand idly by and be weak in this hour".

Thousands of supporters rallied for the six teens last week in Jena. Several syndicated black broadcasters, including Michael Baisden used their platforms to show support for and spread the word for the Jena 6 .

With the battle for the freedom of the group far from over, many activist vow to remain in—or return to—Jena until this situation is resolved.
