This Call to Action is ripped from online
Let’s flood their Twitter, Facebook, phone lines from 12pm to 3pm EST on Thursday, March 19th

Since the checkbook is open let’s be as loud as possible. A group of us want to start a National Day of Advocacy for ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) to flood the lines, emails and twitter feeds of representatives for reparations now.

U with me? If so, pass this on to as many friends and family as possible and let OUR voices be heard.

We’re going to target three congresspersons: Barbara Lee, Bobby Rush and Sheila Jackson Lee

Barbara Lee contact info -
Twitter: @RepBarbaraLee
Facebook: Congresswoman Barbara Lee
Phone: 202-225-2661

Sheila Jackson Lee contact info -
Twitter: @JacksonLeeTX18
Facebook: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee
Phone: 713-655-0050 / 202-225-3816

Bobby Rush contact info -
Twitter: @RepBobbyRush
Facebook: Congressman Bobby L. Rush
Phone: 202-225-4372

Let’s flood their Twitter, Facebook, phone lines from 12pm to 3pm EST on Thursday, March 19th

Use hashtags #COVID19 #ADOS #PayTheDebt #reparations #coronavirus

When calling let them know:

You’d like to go on the record as saying -

As members of the congressional black caucus it’s time that they stood up for the American Descendants of Slavery with the same zeal, vigor and tenacity they have for major corporations, Hispanics and every other group. We are the least in this country, a debt is owed and the time to pay is now. HR40 with Dr. Darity’s rewrites needs to be submitted with a down payment in the trillions to ADOS.
It’s also time for them to support HR 4999 to put equity in the hands of ADOS instead of those who have persistently kept us as bottom caste.

If this is successful we can do this again next week targeting 3 more members of the CBC!

"but but the Supreme Court"

Liberal Justice Sides with Conservatives and States’ Rights in Criminal Justice Case

Barack Obama‘s handpicked replacement for legendary liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has once again sided with the conservative majority on a hot-button criminal justice issue.

In a 6-3 opinion authored by Justice Elena Kagan, an extremely limited insanity defense in the State of Kansas was deemed to be constitutionally sufficient under the Due Process Clause–which will now result in the petitioner being executed by the state. The ruling is being viewed as a decided setback for criminal justice reform advocates and the rights of criminal defendants.

“Elena Kagan – whose appointment, you may recall, was opposed by many on the left because she was far more conservative than John Paul Stevens [and] had no judicial record – joins (again) with the Court’s right-wing, upholding Kansas’s narrow insanity defense,” commented attorney and The Intercept editor Glenn Greenwald.

Stylized as Kahler v. Kansas, the case concerns a man, James Kahler, who shot and killed four of his family members. Kahler raised the state’s limited insanity defense at trial and during the sentencing phase–while also filing separate pre-trial litigation arguing that Kansas had effectively abolished the insanity defense entirely. His arguments before the Supreme Court were an agglomeration of his various pre-trial, trial and post-trial defenses and theories.

Kagan and the conservatives rejected Kahler’s claim that Kansas had abolished the insanity defense–by eliding it entirely. Instead, the high court ignored that claim and found Kansas’s limited defense was constitutionally firm–essentially because of states’ rights.

Basically Ginsburg gave him an opening to find racial discrimination in discovery. But he has to find the evidence to prove it. Also, what she says is that the Congress needs to amend 1866 to allow what he's trying to sue for. Which is a "motivating factor" as opposed to "the defining concrete reason". A heavy burden indeed.
