1st Amendment Rights are for ALL, not just some.
In an attempt to silence community activists, advocates, and organizers across the capital region, local city governments are targeting and arresting them. The people of this country have the right to peacefully demonstrate and protest without fear of government retaliation. This attack on protesters is an attack on our first amendment rights of free speech and assembly. It is an attack on our democracy.
We are calling for an end to the coordinated backlash driven by local government officials against the recent protests concerning racial inequality, structural violence, and poverty. We are calling for an end to the abuse of power, blatant retaliation, and attempts of intimidation.
Add your name to demand that our 1st Amendment Rights to freedom of speech and assembly are protected and to demand that all charges against activists, advocates, and organizers are dismissed.
