It is a crime for masked people to publicly gather in the state of Virginia with the intent to conceal identity in any public place. We expect local and state law enforcement to enforce the Code of Virginia under 18.2-422, with an exception for any street theater that may occur parallel to the gathering of the hate group also known as the KKK.

Corey Stewart is losing in his endeavor to become governor of Virginia. His message of hate and bigotry is not catching on in a diverse and progressive state. Why does Anna's want to host a loser? Call Anna's at (804) 730-7203 to demand they cancel Stewart's Friday night event.

Confederate Corey will be in the Richmond area June 9-10 as part of his "Take Back Virginia" tour. Corey Stewart has campaigned for Virginia Governor calling immigrants criminals while championing pro-Confederate principles. Stewart doesn't represent Virginia as it is today. He represents Virginia as it was 150 years ago. Stewart doesn't represent Virginians who are welcoming to all people and want to move beyond the lost cause of the Civil War. Richmond is a city of love that rejects the hatred and discrimination that are fundamental to Confederate Corey's campaign.

Must Read and Resist Hate! https://mic.com/articles/178984/louisiana-rep-clay-higgins-on-muslims-after-london-attack-kill-them-all#.zn4LYZyjr

Dear Mayor Khan and the people of London: As many of us in the United States know, the days following a terror attack are filled with grief, fear, uncertainty and instability. We’ve also seen how those same days bring out the best in people: strangers offering support to victims and their families—regardless of what they look like or where they come from—and foreign allies sending words of strength and solidarity. Sadly, our president has violated that sacred pact. You have no doubt had your hands full since Saturday’s attack that claimed the lives of seven innocent people, but President Trump has taken to Twitter to attack your response in the immediate aftermath of the attack and use this tragedy as a vehicle to further his own xenophobic agenda. We want to make it clear to you and the people of London that he does not speak for us. Despite anti-immigrant rhetoric about rooting out extremism, you understand that British Muslims are just as much a part of the fabric of your city than anyone else and want nothing more than peace. You also understand that no “ban” can end hate, and raising alarm will only lead to further chaos. As American author E.B. White wrote in 1973, “As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time.” We, compassionate citizens of the United States, are sending your city hope and strength. Ignore hate, embrace love, and know we will always be your loyal friends.

We should not be honoring Confederate leaders who fought to keep slavery. We instead should honor men like William Stewart, an African American who fought for the Union before moving to Washington.

There is a growing wave of white supremacist hate crimes unfolding across the country... in Portland, OR where two people were killed following an Islamophobic attack...in Manhattan, NY where a self-proclaimed white supremacist stabbed a Black man with a sword...in Grays Harbor, WA where a driver of a pickup truck intentionally ran down two Quinault tribal members at a campground, killing one and injuring the other. Communities across much of America are grappling with how best to unite against bigotry and racism. Meanwhile, Google--one of America's largest companies--is enabling networks of white supremacists to grow and thrive online. Rather than ending its business ties with racist and extremist websites that promote hate speech, recent policy changes from Google now allow extremist sites to keep collecting ad money on some pages while spreading hate speech on others. That's why ahead of Google's annual stockholder meeting on June 7th, a massive social media campaign from Sleeping Giants is asking Google's three biggest stockholders --Vanguard, Fidelity and Blackrock -- to hold Google accountable for funding sites that promote hate speech and contribute to white supremacist violence, such as Breitbart. Funding online hate speech is not a responsible business practice. Let's ask Google's largest shareholders to commit to vote in favor of Proposal 12 and help us hold the company accountable.

As a veteran who swore to protect and defend this country from all enemies foreign AND domestic, I am appalled that students under the tutelage and austere leadership formation of UMD are not being held accountable for their hate speech and hate embodiment. Black lives matter and they need to matter before they're just another statistic. Until institutions start acting with formidable integrity by living into their call of forming future leaders, words are meaningless and a slap in the face to the families of those who have been killed or harmed. With respect to Richard Collins III, there needs to be an immediate expulsion of all students at UMD with ties to white supremacy. Not doing so makes it known that students who think black lives are meaningless are students that are approved of. As the power dynamic in a covenantal relationship between college and student, colleges cannot allow students that choice while they are aligned with a purportedly healthy mission statement. Doing so puts fellow students and surrounding citizen lives at risk. This cannot continue.

Under Martial law, the people of Mindanao, civilians and other innocent people, especially the Moro and Lumad, will be further victimized and suffer.

The Community Action Committee of the New York City Police Council of Retired Guardians requests your support. It has been some 49 years since Dr. Tommie Smith & Dr. John Carlos protested conditions in this country at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. In the aftermath of their protest, they were kicked out of the Olympic Village and not allowed to participate in any further competition(s) at those games. They were also banned “for life” from any affiliation(s) with the International Olympic Committee and to the best of my knowledge, The U.S. Olympic Committee as well. In our humble opinion, the time has come to have these men re-instated into their rightful places in the Olympic Community and the history of our country. After all, did the United States not PARDON Richard Nixon after the Watergate Affair? Did not the Republic of South Africa “embrace” the late Mr. Nelson Mandela to the point where he was elected President of that country? Has the United States, “forgiven” Japan, Germany & Vietnam after the wars we fought with them? Hasn't Martha Stewart "recovered" from her transgression? And I’m sure there are many more similar incidents that have occurred since 1968 on the International Stage. Dr. Smith & Dr. Carlos’ action(s) on that day were nothing more than an attempt to peacefully protest the situation of African American people in this country as they existed at that time. So did Mrs. Rosa Parks, Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer and countless other individuals at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Almost 49 years in “exile” should be enough “punishment”. If anyone has read Dr. John Carlos' Book, “The John Carlos Story”, you know the repercussions he has suffered since 1968. It is our sincerest hope that upon receipt of these many signatures in support of Drs. Smith & Carlos, the International Olympic Committee will take the Correct and Just course, and restore these athletes their proper rights and entitlements within the International and U.S.Olympic Communities. Thank you all for your support in this endeavor. Pete Ahern Community Action Committee NYC Police Council of Retired Guardians

Actual fascist David Clark has been nominated by Donald Trump to be the assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He has not yet been confirmed. Read about him here: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/05/david-clarke-actual.html This is a very dangerous man and we must block his appointment. Please sign the petition and share it with your friends.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has announced he will resign to take a job in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Donald Trump.[1] Amazingly, DHS has not confirmed that they actually offered Clarke the job he claims. There's still time to stop DHS Secretary John Kelly from appointing Sheriff Clarke to any position. David Clarke has referred to #BlackLivesMatter activists as "black slime" and “sub-human creeps,” [2] and has slandered Muslims. [3] He has pledged to crack down on undocumented immigrants, and wants to turn Milwaukee County Sheriffs deputies into immigration agents through the discriminatory 287g program, used by Joe Arpaio in Arizona to racially profile and terrorize immigrant communities.[4] In a 6-month period in 2016, four deaths occurred at the Milwaukee County Jail under Sheriff Clarke’s charge. One death was Terrill Thomas, who died of dehydration after guards shut off his water for 8 days;[5] Clarke later threatened the medical examiner in an attempt to obstruct the investigation into Thomas' death.[6] Another death was a newborn baby after the mother gave birth while in chains; she was just one of more than 40 pregnant women who have been shackled by Clarke’s jail. Should he join the Dept. of Homeland Security, Clarke would use his new position to continue his racist rhetoric and have a powerful federal platform for advancing policies targeting immigrants, Muslims, and Black people.
