Domestic Terrorists take the U.S. Capitol
The appalling events in Washington D.C. today illustrate in full relief the two systems of justice in America. Many are noting the stark difference in how law enforcement treated protestors in Lafayette Square a few months ago with how they responded to protestors at the Capitol today. “We march for our lives. They storm the Capitol because their guy lost. This is all we’ve been saying. This is not new. It’s always been this way. This is America.” Stephanie Edmond-Myers, Mt. Lebanon resident and Steering Committee member of M.O.R.E. This is white privilege. This is how violent, white people with real,Read More »Domestic Terrorists take the U.S. Capitol

The Breonna Taylor Grand Jury Decision Proves How Little America Cares To Protect Black Women
On September 23, former officer Brett Hankinson, one of three officers responsible for Breonna Taylor’s murder, was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment of the first degree by a Kentucky grand jury. Under the class D felony, he now faces one to five years in prison. He was not charged directly with taking Breonna’s life—nor were the other two officers who were involved. By definition of Kentucky law, one is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when they “wantonly engage in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person” and they doRead More »The Breonna Taylor Grand Jury Decision Proves How Little America Cares To Protect Black Women
We Stand with Jacob Blake
On Sunday, August 23, 2020, the Kenosha Police in Wisconsin, shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back while his children watched. We are well past shock and surprise at hearing news of the shooting of unarmed civilians by law enforcement. The real shock is that these extrajudicial shootings are becoming commonplace. We brace for it. We expect it. We cry out in collective anguish and demand accountability. Accountability that all too often never comes. Pennsylvania State Representative Summer Lee informed us during their Virtual Panel on Police Reform on Wednesday, September 2nd, that it is technically legal for aRead More »We Stand with Jacob Blake
