Police on bikes facing off at a banner held by people saying Free Masonique

On Saturday May 4th, 2019, protesters outraged at the wrongful incarceration of Masonique Saunders held a march. Shortly after, two activists locked down to a car blocking traffic on High Street. Police maced these folks while they were completely immobilized and unable to move! At least four people were arrested during this peaceful action, and we need your support to bail them out so our comrades can rejoin the fight to #FreeMasonique. Any amount helps! 

Backstory on Masonique’s case: On December 7, 2018, Columbus police murdered 16 year old Julius Ervin Tate Jr.. On December 13, they arrested his 16 year old girlfriend, Masonique Saunders, charging her with the murder they committed. She recently “celebrated” her 17th birthday behind bars while Eric Richards, the officer who killed Julius Tate Jr., was recently awarded SWAT officer of the year. We are sick and tired of the racist police terror killing and caging Black youth!
