The Climate Justice Committee condemns the racist police murder of Daunte Wright and the ensuing police violence in Brooklyn Center yesterday. After the murder of Daunte, cops and soldiers flooded Brooklyn Center assaulting protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas. This comes after weeks of tension with the ongoing Chauvin trial and the heightened militarization of downtown Minneapolis.
The CJC makes racial justice a core part of its work, and has been active in helping organize the Chauvin trial protests and will continue to stand in solidarity with everyone fighting for justice. Corporate pollution, pipelines, and military intervention devastate communities of color above all others, so there can be no climate justice without racial justice.
There will be a media push to blame Daunte, blame protesters, and blame anything but the racist system of policing. We emphatically reject any attempt to blame anyone but these racist killer cops.
Indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail! The whole damn system is guilty as hell!
