Black Lives Matter

"We cannot let corporations talk about 'Black lives' on their Twitter feeds while also funding police violence on our streets."

The court's decision, said a coalition of civil rights groups, "serves as a powerful reminder that such unjust and unconstitutional efforts cannot stand."

"My son's murderers... need to be in prison for what they did to him. They had no right to stop him. They had no right to handcuff him, brutalize and terrorize him, or inject him with ketamine."

"The federalization of protest-related charges was a deliberate and cynical effort to target and discourage those who protested in defense of Black lives."

"The fact that MPD attacked, arrested me, and then held my camera for nearly a year for no reason sends a chilling message to everyone of what is at risk," one of the plaintiffs in the suit warned.

"We have seen time and time again that where racial justice protests flourish, anti-protest laws follow. And we know that police and prosecutors don't need more tools or power to abuse our constitutional rights."
