From Elaine Marie Kinch for the Racine Coalition for Peace and Justice:

This Saturday, July 25, 2020 we will be present at the Dr. Martin Luther King Plaza, flying our new BLACK LIVES MATTER banner from 10 am to 11 am. at Dr. Martin Luther King Plaza in Racine (State Street & Dr. King Drive). We will also have our STOP RACIST WARS banner, for most U.S. wars are against people of color——be it here, in the Middle East, or in Latin American countries.

Over 30 of those wars by the U.S. are economic blockades of medicine, food, and vital equipment.  These sanctions cause suffering and death, so we will have our END THE BLOCKADES, U.S. OUT OF CUBA AND PUERTO RICO! banner.

We will social distance as we hold our banners, and we will have signs available for Palestine living under the racist and violent occupation of Israel. Please wear masks. Thank you.

DO JOIN US!

JUSTICE FOR ISAIAH TUCKER

Sun Dial in Oshkosh at 4 P.M.

We will be protesting Oshkosh Police Department’s Aaron Archterberg for the murder of Isaiah Tucker. Aaron Archterberg is still employed by Oshkosh Police Department. On July 31, 2017, Isaiah Tucker lost his life due to Aaron Archterbergs actions. The D.A. deemed his actions “justifiable.”

We will meet at the SunDial and march to the police department where we will be heard.

NO RIOT GEAR IN DOOR COUNTY

“Adopt a Soldier Door County, a Sturgeon Bay-based nonprofit organization, has offered to donate $10,000 to the Sheriff’s Office to pay for the helmets and shields that the office requested and that the county finance committee voted down last month.” Door County Knock https://doorcountyknock.com/2020/07/as-protesters-call-for-defunding-police-sheriff-calls-for-discourse?fbclid=IwAR1BizVxUycxH_Fpnitg0kKODfmc6i3AR_6fAYSQTlhKmPVLmEDLWlEJvvM

After the county finance committee voted down this ask (for non-financial reasons,) the donation has recently been approved by the public safety committee. This is despite an unprecedented flood of dissented calls from the public:

“This is an especially egregious and unnecessarily antagonistic action, as it coincides with the largest civil rights movement the world has seen to date,” our petition with over 500 signatures states. “This military-grade weaponry only serves to escalate situations, while targeting U.S. citizens.”

We reject the idea that our public safety can be bought through private organizations with their own agenda. We also acknowledge that real change comes from civil disobedience.

We will be in Sister Bay from 11am-2pm this 07/22-0724. Brings your own sign, a mask, and friends. We will have water and extra signs and music.
