My friend,
A Georgia jury has convicted three white vigilantes for murdering a Black man in cold blood. This is a good day for America.
Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William Bryan hunted down, confronted, and killed Ahmaud Arbery, a young man with a loving family who will now never fulfill his potential. No trial can change that, but justice has been served. The jury system can work, but it relies on competent prosecution and a level playing field in the courtroom.
This outcome – the entire process – stands in stark contrast to the judicial nightmare we witnessed in Kenosha last week.
Please add your name now to tell the Department of Justice to investigate Kyle Rittenhouse's case >>
At the same time that we urge the Justice Department to investigate bringing federal charges for the killings that occurred in Kenosha, we look forward to DOJ continuing to pursue federal hate crime charges against the two McMichaels and Bryan.
Violence against innocents targeted for their race sows fear throughout the targeted community. That is how terror works, and that is why federal charges are so important.
Thank you for doing your part in the fight for freedom and justice.
– Ben Jealous, President
