To our brothers and sisters in the Missouri National Guard:
We are writing to you as active-duty U.S. service members and veterans, most of us having served in the Iraq war.
You have a choice you can make right now.
The whole world is watching the Ferguson police with disgust.
They killed an unarmed, college-bound Black youth in broad daylight, and
subsequently responded to peaceful, constitutionally-protected protests
with extreme violence and repression.
Countless constitutional and human rights violations by these
police have been documented over the course of the Ferguson protests;
from attacking and threatening journalists, to using tear gas against
peaceful protesters, including children.
Now, Governor Nixon has again activated the National Guard to
‘support law enforcement.’ But you don’t have to follow their orders—you
can stand with the protesters instead.
