Friend,
Late last month, a St. Louis couple went viral after pointing a handgun and a semiautomatic rifle at protestors from their front lawn. Their names are Mark and Patricia McCloskey, and they need to be dealt the full force of the law.
Instead, Missouri politicians have come out to defend the couple who had the right to "protect" their personal property. President Trump went so far as to promise his extreme followers that he would be "getting involved" in the case.
Friend, Mark and Pat weren't acting in self defense. This was a hate crime. And St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner — who is in charge of investigating the couple — has been on the receiving end of racist attacks and death threats since taking on the case.
We need to take a stand and support Kim, who is simply doing her job and making sure justice is served. Rush support to The Justice for All Action Fund today to help fight back.
There is no reason to brandish a weapon at protestors — let alone an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle. But white supremacists and extremists are flocking behind the couple, looking for any chance to paint a blatant hate crime as "self defense."
Senator Josh Hawley (MO) has asked the Justice Department to "investigate" Kim and sadly, this isn't the first time Republicans have attacked Kim for her work. She's been attacked by police unions and local politicians — and already had to file a civil rights suit against the city of St. Louis this year.
Kim is on the frontlines of the fight for justice and accountability and we must have her back. If you're with us in this work, pitch in to The Justice for All Action Fund right now and stand with Kim!
Collectively, we will win,
