Thank you for urging President Obama to issue an executive order that enforces civil rights law and the ban discriminatory and abusive policing. To help build power we hope you will share the campaign with your friends and family: shpg.org/176/11221 We are in a historic time — amidst the rise of a new and growing civil rights movement. And in the long and noble tradition of civil disobedience, Black youth and their allies are once again rising up and demanding an end to police killings. In the words of the incredible Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., This is no time for apathy and complacency, this is a time for vigorous and positive action. Check out the links below to find an action near you and a downloadable poster to print and take with you. Make sure to review this Know Your Rights document before attending an action. As organizing efforts across the country continue to rise, police nationwide are ramping up their suppression of the first amendment right to free speech and protest. As we know all too well, police brutality and unjust arrest are a real possibility. Thanks and peace, Rashad Robinson, Executive Director, ColorOfChange Nationwide actions Ferguson Action Ferguson Response Network We also recommend searching Facebook using the hashtag #ReclaimMLK or other key words to find an action near you.
