Stand with Kaepernick – Press Conference in SF

Join us in supporting Colin Kaepernick!

San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick has recently garnered press attention for refusing to stand during the national anthem, in protest of the state violence enacted on people by this country on a daily basis, in the form of police brutality. He has specifically called out the disproportionate incidence of police brutality against people of color.

Unbelievably, the Police Officers’ Association (POA) of San Francisco, has sent a letter completely denying that SFPD has any racist violence problem — in spite of the record-breaking murder tally by SFPD in 2015, ending with the senseless shooting death of Mario Woods. Despite two more killings of people of color since then (Luis Gongora Pat and Jessica Nelson Williams), despite the DA and Public Defender acknowledging the problem, despite Chief Suhr recently stepping down in shame due to community outrage, despite the DA convening a panel to investigate – which has released 81 damning findings and recommendations, despite hundreds of protesters and worldwide press on violence by police against citizens in San Francisco. And despite the fact that San Francisco in 2015 made the top 10 worst list of ALL largest U.S. cities for per capita killings of citizens by police.
The POA is in total denial — and worse, it attacks those willing to state and stand for the truth.

Join us! – as we stand with Kaepernick and against POA’s inexplicable denials and attacks.
