Protest "Kill at Will" Laws that Are Killing Innocent People and Protecting Vigilantes
When:
Thursday, 3/29 at 12 PM
Where:
Outside ALEC Headquarters
1100 Vermont Ave. NW
WASHINGTON, DC
Who:
Join the National Urban League, NAACP, ColorOfChange, Moveon.org, AFL-CIO, SEIU, ProgressNow, Center for Media and Democracy/ALECexposed.org, Presente, Public Campaign, Common Cause, People For the American Way, UltraViolet, National Council of Churches, US Action, and more.
Urge ALEC to stop promoting its lethal “Kill at Will” law.
The "Kill at Will" law is being used to justify Trayvon’s killing and may prevent the prosecution of his shooter. Since the NRA wrote this law for Florida in 2005, the "justifiable homicide" rate there has jumped 300%.
The NRA – a major ALEC benefactor – then helped pass similar legislation in 30 states - and the tragic body count is growing.
