Anonymous submission to Conflict Minnesota
Thursday, May 25th
Ramsey County Courthouse
15 Kellogg Blvd W
9:30 AM
Rally to drop the charges starting at 9:30am, and help pack the court when the hearing starts at 10:30.
Louis is facing felony charges and serious time for participating in a protest of the police murder of his cousin, Philando Castile. He faces 2 counts of 2nd degree riot while armed with a dangerous weapon, up to 10 years in prison, and a $20k fine. If convicted, Louis faces as much time in prison as the cop who murdered Philando.
These charges are trumped up and unjust! Louis’ family is grieving and has been through too much already. Now, in addition to supporting his family in this difficult time, he is preparing to defend himself in court. Acting in solidarity with Louis is paramount to continuing the struggle for black lives right now.
Gather outside the Ramsey County Courthouse at 15 W. Kellogg in Downtown St. Paul. Please wear black & gold to show solidarity.
