Philando Castile's cousin, Louis Hunter, could be the only one to serve prison time as a result of Philando's murder--because he attended a protest. He stood up for his cousin's justice last summer and attended the protests on I-94. Thousands protested, but only Louis faces serious felony charges and 10 years in prison in connection with the protests.

Meanwhile, Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who murdered Philando Castile, won't serve any jail time and was just paid $45K severance. It's an outrage. And the Ramsey County DA, who actually let Philando's killer walk free, should be ashamed for pursuing these ridiculous charges.

These charges are a clear attempt to silence and punish dissent--it's the embodiment of the state violence that killed Philando in the first place. Louis' family is already struggling with enough grief and dealing with the murder of a loved one--they shouldn't have to deal with the hardship of Louis being put behind bars for something he didn't do. Time is running out. Louis' trial is scheduled just two months from now. Will you stand in solidarity and sign the petition demanding the prosecutors drop the charges before it's too late?

This is the message we'll send to the Ramsey County and Carver County District Attorney offices on your behalf:
