U.S (Color Of Change) : We can fight back against the RITTENHOUSE verdict and PROTECT RACIAL JUSTICE.

 

 

 

Dear friend,       Yesterday, the state of Wisconsin decided to protect a violent white supremacist over the rights and safety of racial justice protestors.   After facing a trial for the murders of Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, and the injury of Gaige Groseenkreutz, Kyle Rittenhouse was declared not guilty and will never face the consequences of his hate-filled actions.             FIGHT BACK: DEMAND RACIAL JUSTICE PROTESTORS ARE PROTECTED!             This acquittal follows a dangerous trend. In the year since Kyle Rittenhouse murdered Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, more than 100 anti-protest bills have been introduced across the county, INCLUDING IN WISCONSIN.   These bills not only create harsher punishment for protesters, but also make it easier for people like Kyle Rittenhouse to commit violence against racial justice protesters and avoid accountability.   With support from Color of Change members like you, organizers on the ground were able to block a bill that would have put racial justice protesters in Wisconsin at further risk.   But the bill may be re-introduced this year.       Join Color of Change to demand Wisconsin political leaders make a public commitment to protect racial justice protesters.             SIGN ON TO THE DEMANDS NOW!             After yesterday’s not guilty verdict, the message in Wisconsin and across the country is even more clear : white supremacists who choose to attack Black people, and those who stand in solidarity with Black lives, will face no consequences. And, thanks to anti-protest bills being passed across the country, the people protesting this unjust verdict could be arrested and spend longer in jail than Rittenhouse himself. That’s not right, friend. Make no mistake, from the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict to the nearly 100 anti-protest bills that have been proposed since last year’s uprising for Black lives, our right to protest racial injustice is under attack, and if state lawmakers have their way, people who kill protestors will never face consequences for their actions.   We cannot be silenced. Civil unrest and protest are essential tools for our freedom and we will fight to protect them.       This is why we need you to sign our petition and demand Wisconsin political leaders kill this anti-protest bill and any others like it.             DEMAND WISCONSIN LEADERS STAND WITH RACIAL JUSTICE PROTESTORS!               Until justice is real,         Scott, Rashad, Arisha, Malachi, Erika, Megan, Ernie, Palika, Madison, Ariel, Trevor, Ana, McKayla, and the rest of the Color Of Change team.

Color Of Change is building a movement to elevate the voices of Black folks and our allies, and win real social and political change.
