John, news just broke: no federal charges will be filed against the police officer who shot Jacob Blake in the back 7 times in Kenosha last year. It’s obscene.
7 shots.
In the BACK.
Jacob is now paralyzed.
Listen. I want you to understand this. The Kenosha County District Attorney Mike Graveley is the man who first failed Jacob in getting accountability for this grave injustice.
He is essentially the CEO of the local justice system in Kenosha. And he declined to file any criminal charges. He said the officer was justified in shooting Jacob.
It’s deeply upsetting. But I want you to take that feeling and turn it into ACTION.
I’m asking for $17 because that is our average gift online for the year. Small dollar donations have been at the core of some of our very best work. But our resources are rapidly diminishing. If you can’t give $17, that’s ok. Give what you can.
Just know that we won’t be able to continue the difficult work of electing District Attorneys without you.
And we will not be able to break this terrifying cycle of police violence if we do not hold them accountable – at the minimum.
Appreciate you for reading this far,
Shaun
