Content Warning: this email discusses police brutality
On Sunday, Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back, in front of his
children, by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He is fighting for
his life.
This is yet another example of a policing system that perpetuates
violence, and threatens the lives of Black and Brown folx across the
country.
Then last night, a 17-year-old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove
across state lines, armed with an AR-15. He shot and killed two people who
had assembled to express outrage over Jacob’s shooting and affirm the
value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.
The Kenosha, Wisconsin community is in pain in the face of blatant racism
and injustice, and protestors need our support. Being a part of the
progressive movement means showing up.

protestors in Kenosha and connecting folx with lawyers?

Racism in our country is a systemic issue and it’s up to each and every
one of us to dismantle it. Right now, that means showing solidarity and
supporting the protestors in Wisconsin who are fighting for accountability
and justice.
People who are protesting to say that Black Lives Matter should not be
imprisoned or held because they can’t pay cash bail. [ [link removed] ]If you can afford
it, please make a contribution right now to help set free our brothers,
sisters, and siblings who are making their voices heard in Kenosha.
Thank you for your solidarity,
The A-Team
