On Saturday 3/20, the Lowell Police arrested two peaceful protestors who were legally exercising their 1st amendment rights on a public sidewalk. They’ve both been hit with bogus charges and have to attend court, and they will consequently be saddled with court and legal costs. 

HERE'S THE LATEST FROM COURT AS OF MARCH 22:

Our people were arrested and charged arbitrarily and capriciously with three bogus charges. As of their March 22 arraignment, one of those charges was dropped. That means our people will need to continue to appear in court over and over until the truth sings louder than the police screaming at us to get off a public sidewalk. Getting arrested is expensive. Going to court is expensive. As a community that protects one another, we can't let our people who were robbed of their safety, go without. Being thrust into the injustice system for the simple act of seeking justice is abusive, and it's violent, and it's traumatic to every single person out here who is committed to fighting for a better world.

CAJE supports Tina. Together, we're going to make sure she is taken care of.

In retaliation for calling for answers about the disappearing of Moses Harris, the police also targeted one of our people and had her car towed. Our friend spent hours locating and retrieving her vehicle. Those of us who have had our vehicles towed, know what a financial burden it is. We won't let her face this alone.

Food, water, blankets, and other supplies were also purchased to respond to this emergency. Everyone who made this happen was incredibly generous, and we aren't going to let them take on those expenses alone. What they gave, was given for every single person in our community who has been targeted by Lowell's racist, violent police force.

CAJE is committed to covering these costs for people who continue to fight for Moses Harris, and his family. And we know most of you are, too.  We still don’t have answers. We still don’t have the police report detailing what exactly happened that night. We still don’t have justice.

Please donate! And please, call your friends and ask them to donate. Text your family and ask them to donate. Please talk to your people, and tell them what happened on Saturday.

And! Please head over to insta and give @beckywiththegudhurr a follow to thank her for the awesome court support photo!
