State's Attorney Mosby: Drop the charges against all protesters
After Freddie Gray's death, thousands of protesters took a stand and spoke out against the brutal violence of Baltimore police officers. And now, in an ironic twist of events, protesters are being criminalized for speaking out against state-sanctioned violence. This is unacceptable.
I urge you to drop the charges against all protesters and be an advocate for those of us tired of the violence in our communities.

Why is this important?
The people of Baltimore have had enough. Over just the last 4 years, police have killed 109 people in the city. And in 2014, 100% of the people killed by Baltimore police were Black. Baltimore — like most cities in America — has a long and ongoing history of violent, discriminatory and illegal policing.
Following the tragic police killing of 25-year-old Freddie Gray the people of Baltimore rose up and moved State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby to charge all 6 officers who killed Freddie Gray. But while the police who killed Gray are out of jail, hundreds of protesters languish in overcrowded, inhumane jail conditions facing unjust criminal charges and outrageous bail.
Urge State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby to drop the charges against all protesters.
