TELL THE HAYWARD POLICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND MICHELLE LE!

HOLD THE HAYWARD POLICE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR NEGLECT; REFUSAL TO PRIORITIZE CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN

We demand that the Hayward Police Department utilize all possible resources to find Michelle Le, who was kidnapped on May 27, 2011 at 7:00pm.

We denounce the Hayward Police Department’s lack of timely response to Michelle Le’s disappearance; they waited  days until beginning their search. Further, they have refused help from other law enforcement agencies.This neglect is systematic of law enforcement agencies’ de-prioritization of crimes against women, particularly Asian Pacific American women – including kidnapping, domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault.

Please sign the petition to demand:

1.     Hayward Police Department put legitimate resources towards Michelle’s case.

2.     Immediate response for all kidnapping and other gendered crimes

3.     Broaden Amber Alert to all young women (young women under age 21 – 35 cases vs. 52,000 for those over 21)
