INJUSTICE ON A STICK
We extend our deepest condolences and solidarity to the family and friends of Heather Heyer as well as the Charlottesville community. “Run them over” – Retired Saint Paul Police Sgt. Jeffrey Rothecker, Jan. 2016. Rest in Power Comrade! #Justice4Heather No Fascists! No KKK! Racist USA!
The time is now. Like no other time in history. We have the ability. We have the numbers. We have the determination. We have the organization. We have the solidarity. We have the scars. We have the false allegations. We have the charges. We have the brutalized. We have the pain. We have the buried. We have the memories. We have the duty to fight for our freedom! #ColinKaepernick #Stand4Kaepernick . We have the duty to win!
From police brutality, mass incarceration and corporate violence (St. Anthony Village), to institutional racism and capitalism, the System continues to destroy our ability have peace, live, and thrive, as well as siphon the natural resources of Mother Earth. #NoDAPL #NativeLivesMatter . Minnesota is home to the nation’s largest Somalis community. #StopIslamophobia. We must love and protect one another. #BlackLivesMatter #LGBTQLivesMatter . When you take a stand against injustice, your life matters.
On Sunday September 3, 2017, we will add another item to the list of things on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair, #InjusticeOnaStick. The list of people executed by Minnesota law enforcement continues to grow: Justine Damond, Cordale Q. Handy, Chad Robertson (Chicago), Justin Kulhanek-Derks, Jamie Lewis, Leticia Ocampo, Matthew J. Vogel, Jay Johannes Holmgren, Anthony R. Kaupp, Jonathan Barbour, Chase Tuseth, Ronald Johnson, Jamison Anderson, Jack Dale Price, Sondra Kristine Heger, Clarency Huderle, Samnang D. Lehn, Darren Jahnke and Gregory Thrower.
When we walk, we are walking on the long road to recovery with Khaleel Thompson, shot 18 times by Crystal Police and survived! We love you Khaleel!
What really happened to Jerome Gordon-Jackson on May 18, 2013? Suicide is always a convenient alibi for law enforcement.
Peaceful protesters who stood against the actions of executioner Jeronimo Yanez are still facing charges but Yazez is free and Philando is in the ground. SMH. Minnesota must do better.
In 2016 at #MNStateAintFair, among the people named as stolen lives were Geno Smith, Map Kong, Jaffort Smith and Philando Cast. We continue to demand justice for them as well as for Jamar Clark, Marcus Golden (unarmed), Fong Lee (unarmed), Guilermo Canas, Philip Quinn, Michael Kirvelay, Terrance Franklyn, Victor Gaddy, Quincy Smith as well as other local and out of state police homicide victims such as Alton Sterling, Paul Castaway, Angel Lopez and Oscar Grant. Yes, we did #SayHerName: Korryn Gaines, Aiyana Jones, Sarah Lee Circle Bear, Sandra Bland and Rekia Boyd to name a few.
Injustice on a Stick exposes repetitive, systematic, deeply rooted, racism, state sanctioned police and corporate violence. Injustice on a Stick (nightstick) is only available at the #MNStateAintFair one day. Unite and come get it while it’s hot!
