The uprising in defense of Black lives represents the largest social movement in U.S. history. As more people say #BlackLivesMatter , local and federal law enforcement are harassing, arresting, and charging activists and organizers with made-up charges.

1/6

We demand that charges are dropped against all protesters, including Black disabled, Black queer, trans, & gender-nonconforming folks who are more likely to be targeted for arrest -- & an immediate end to the practice of persecuting protesters in the U.S.

2/6

Police all over the country have tear-gassed, dragged, beaten, run over, & arrested over 10,000 protestors for defending Black lives. Amnesty International recorded 125 incidents of police violence against protestors from May - June 2020 in 40 states.

3/6

As #OperationLegend has been earmarked to use excessive force. We demand a full investigation into all allegations of police and federal agent violence against protesters, an immediate end to Operation Legend, and the demilitarization of police.

4/6

As administrations have given ICE & CBP carte blanche to terrorize immigrant protesters, we stand united with our partners at @UNITEDWEDREAM and demand that our elected leaders work to #DefundPolice, #DefundICE, and invest in Black Futures.

5/6

Our Vision for Black Lives Policy Platform will challenge the government to change the trajectory of legislation, as we rally for change in the streets. The War on Black people must end -- free our people, now! Support the movement at https://m4bl.org/amnesty-for-protestors
