The verdict in the #KyleRittenhouse case is a travesty and fails to deliver justice on behalf of those who lost their lives as they peacefully assembled to protest against police brutality and violence.
John Lewis sent out the call to "vote like never before." So we did.
Now, efforts happening all across the nation are attempting to diminish our voice, but we will not be silenced. We're calling on the Senate to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Salem-Keizer NAACP rebukes remarks made by Linda Farrington, Salem-Keizer School Board Candidate to Zone 3, that come as attention as violence against Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders (AAPI) is front & center. We call on her to issue a statement of apology.
#StopAsianHate
The Salem-Keizer NAACP condemns the recent remark, made by Kari Zohner, Salem-Keizer School Board Candidate for Zone 1, that equated memorializing George Floyd to eulogizing a criminal. We call on her to step down from her campaign immediately.
#BlackLivesMatter#WeAreDoneDying
-We don’t want the hashtag.
-Don’t want to wait an hear an explanation after all the facts come out.
-We are tired of offering thoughts and prayers in response to thoughtless law enforcement.
We want to make it home. We want our families to make it home.

We are thankful for @SKCPeezy announcing that the Salem-Keizer School District will not be renewing contracts for SROs & we recognize this wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of so many like @LUSsalem. https://t.co/GntHev6O1T
A year ago hundreds of thousands across this nation stood with us in proclaiming enough is enough, and #WeAreDoneDying. This vote does not happen without the public displays, petition signatures, calls, and support from YOU.
Senate, it’s on you.
