Dear Sheriff Fath, This is why you should be bothered...
Zoom Event - Saturday, June 20 at 2:00 pm We are in a time of change. Many people do not understand why the status quo, which has worked so well for them, needs to change. Black and brown people, women, gay and transgender people, people with disabilities are speaking out about their life experiences. The world is hearing how minorities have been targeted with hate speech, job and housing discrimination, physical and emotional abuse and death. We are creating a space for anyone who wants help Sheriff Fath understand why he should be bothered by a man in a KKK robe walking down a county road in Vilas County, Wisconsin. Here’s the news clip with Sheriff Fath’s comment, “It should not have bothered anybody. I realize it may be offensive to some people but it’s not a crime.” Let’s help Sheriff Fath understand why he, and all of the people in the Northwoods, should be bothered. We will record and share the video. You can speak, provide written or video testimony, and also prepare a sign to hold up to your camera if you wish. |

The current American Police state is reflective of the foundations of the nation, slavery and genocide. Until we defund and abolish police, we will continue to be a racist nation. Prof. Vitale: “The reality is that the police exist primarily as a system for managing and even producing inequality by suppressing social movements and tightly managing the behaviors of poor and nonwhite people: those on the losing end of economic and political arrangements.” |
