Justice Rocks! (Part 2)

Paint rocks with meaningful messages on Tuesday, June 30th at 4:30 pm, located at Cravath Lakefront Park in Whitewater, WI!

Feel free to bring some supplies and search for rocks ahead of time! (Some supplies will be provided but it is first-come-first-serve) The rocks painted will be placed all around Whitewater in gardens, local businesses, and more. Feel free to even paint a rock for your yard! Advocate through creativity and art.

You might be saying to yourself- “This event sounds familiar?” It is! We did this event for Juneteenth but sadly some community members from a former group called “Whitewater Rocks” threw them away. But that won’t stop us!

March on Main will take place the same day at 6:00 pm- Learn more in the March Against Police Brutality – Whitewater Facebook Group

Protest U.S. Threats Against Cuba and Venezuela

From London to Sydney and from Berlin to Tokyo, thousands are marching around the world protesting the systemic racism, repression, and lack of democracy inside the United States. The fight against injustice is worldwide!
We urge our sisters and brothers protesting the racist police murder of George Floyd to also raise our voices against how the US government has its boot on the necks of people struggling for social progress and self-determination in Cuba and Venezuela.
Washington is trying to force Cuba and Venezuela, countries where the people have overthrown U.S.-backed dictatorships, into submission. The militarization of the police we see on our streets is matched by US military threats against Cuba and Venezuela. Brutal economic sanctions and illegal blockades are aimed at squeezing the life out of those nations. Washington is deliberately making it even more difficult for people to get the food and medicines they need during a worldwide pandemic.
While the government here has gutted our health care system and allowed the Corona pandemic to fall most heavily on the working people, especially Blacks and Latinos, Cuba has sent out thousands of medical volunteers to fulfill requests from more than 20 nations around the world for assistance in the worldwide fight against COVID-19. They share what they have, not what’s left over!
We are attaching an image of a flyer that we’ve distributed for this event at several actions demanding justice for George Floyd and other victims of racist police violence.We urge you to make copies and help us build this action!
We will be observing precautions of solidarity at this action. Please wear a mask and observe 6 feet of separation.

On October 19, 2018 Jonathon Tubby was killed by a Green Bay Police officer. He was pulled over for a traffic stop, arrested and was later killed in the sally port of the Brown County Jail. He was hand cuffed and unarmed when he was shot from behind.

There was a plan to get him out of the squad car but that plan wasn’t followed and shared with all officers in the sally port. The lack of communication and direction between the Green Bay Police Department and Brown County Sheriff’s Department contributed to Jonathon’s death. Jonathon was shot 5 times in the head, back and neck. Other less lethal routes could have been used, but were not. The family has filed a civil lawsuit and needs your help with raising money for awareness of Jonathon’s case.  The officer that shot Jonathon was never charged. We are looking for accountability. We are also raising money to help with expenses and legislative advocacy. We want accountability and we want change.
We are trying to get Jonathon’s story told. Jonathon was only 26 when he was killed. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was proud to be an indigenous person and had pride for his community. Our search for justice continues. I am Jonathon’s cousin and am setting up this fundraiser on behalf of our family. Thank you for your continued support. We ask you to help us share….
