Rising Tide North America
Dear Friend
Two nights ago, masked white supremacists shot five people at a protest encampment organized by Black Lives Matter Minneapolis near the city’s 4th police precinct. The camp has been demanding the release of video tapes around the police murder of Jamar Clark. While, thankfully, no one was killed, the movement for blacks lives in under constant attack by racist vigilantes, the police state and politicians in both parties.
Rising Tide North America stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter community in Minneapolis, the protest encampment demanding justice for Jamar Clark and communities everywhere in the struggle for racial justice and against white racist violence, state sponsored or otherwise. We stand in solidarity with the right of communities to express their grief and rage, and to take action for justice.
And we’re asking you to stand with us. Can you please support Black Lives Minneapolis with a donation.

A year ago on the occasion of the non-indictment of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, we declared that “climate justice is inextricably linked with racial justice.” We still believe that. Our hearts and actions remain in this fight to create a just and climate stable world.
In solidarity, Rising Tide North America
