#Repost @nnyjcoalition (@get_repost)・・・Join us in an hour for a press conference calling on City Attorney Holmes: Prosecute ICE and the Oil Industry, Not Protesters When: Tuesday Sep 4, 12 noon Where: Seattle City Hall, 2nd FloorIn a Seattle Times op-ed last week, City Attorney Holmes used his public platform to send a threat of prosecution to activists who are taking to the streets to stop family separation and avert complete ecological collapse.City Attorney Holmes could use his energy, his platform, and the city’s resources doing what numerous other cities and counties have done – prosecuting the oil industry. He could use his public platform to stand up against those who are caging kids and separating families. We invite him to do so instead of using his public platform to go after protesters standing up in the face of grave injustices.Pete Holmes’ choice to squash dissent is an immoral attempt to send a chill over our City’s activist community. Yet, we know we need people to bring these fights to the streets to disrupt the status quo now, more than ever. We are here to tell Holmes that he is either with us or against us, and that he does not get to claim neutrality when he uses his discretion in ways that align with the values of the Trump Administration. Please join us for a press conference this Tuesday, as a reminder to our local City Attorney that he has a choice: he can either prosecute people who dare to dream of and fight for a better world OR he can reverse course and join us in the fight to protect indigenous lands, to stop extractive industries from furthering climate disaster, and to defend communities that are being terrorized by Donald Trump’s police and Dow’s jail for kids.Speakers will include representatives from the National Lawyers Guild, Northwest Detention Center Resistance, No New Youth Jail, 350 Seattle, Mazaska Talks and more.Let’s unite to send a message to City Attorney Pete Holmes: we will not back down, we will not be afraid – and you should be standing with us, on the side of justice, on the right side of history.#nonewyouthjail #peoplesmoratorium #climatejustice #indigenoussovereignty #whosesideareyouonhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BnUIWXrFmKedS0KNz6ppLmOsyCtb69blLhco3c0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=192f5nqzduji1 -- source link
