Counterpunch: BANCO: The Stage is Set for Sentencing Another Innocent Black Man:

In Benton Harbor, Michigan, residents won a recall vote of a corrupt city commissioner through a well-organized campaign led by BANCO (Black Autonomy Network Community Organization).

Edward Pinkney of BANCO was arrested on charges of alleged improper possession of absentee votes and improper influence of voters.
