MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD WHERE IT COUNTS-TELL THE HATE GROUPS THEY ARE NOT WELCOME IN SHELBYVILLE, TN ON OCT 28TH!

On October 3, local Shelbyville officials were notified of a white supremacist hate group that are intending to hold a rally under the pretense of protesting "illegal immigration and to draw attention to the recent Emanuel Samson church shooting in Antioch, Tennessee." This is the same group of white supremacists that marched the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia this year screaming racial slurs and ultimately creating a riot resulting in three deaths and over 33 injuries. They are known for extreme violence and hatred of any who is not white or associates with other races. They plan to make an appearance in OUR streets and spread their hate and OUR VOICES NEED TO BE HEARD!

This is what the Shelbyville Police Department had to say about this event: (Please note: It is NOT the responsibility of the police department to allow this event to take place and they have NO say in this matter other than to join together and ensure the safety of citizens! That falls on our city board for not giving a solid 'NO, GO HOME" to these groups so please give credit to where credit is, rightfully, due!)

"Late Tuesday afternoon the Shelbyville Police Department received notice of a planned demonstration scheduled for 28 October 2017. Organizers of this event informed our department the purpose of the demonstration was to protest illegal immigration and to draw attention to the recent Emanuel Samson church shooting in Antioch, Tennessee.
Wednesday morning the Shelbyville Police Department Command Staff met and began making preparations for this event. In an effort to keep the citizens of Shelbyville safe we have reached out to local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. All of which have committed their assistance.
Shelbyville is a very diverse community. In accordance with the mission of the Shelbyville Police Department, members are sworn in an unbiased manner in which all people will be treated fairly. The department recognizes that fair unbiased policing strengthens and promotes public trust while fostering close community relationships, and the department remains committed to the fair and equal treatment of all persons and in maintaining a close relationship with the community.
We ask for your cooperation in allowing these individuals to peacefully assemble and exercise their First Amendment Rights. We also ask you join with us in committing to fulfill our mission to maintain a close relationship with all members of our community."

Send a solid message to the city board:
YOU WORK FOR US! You do NOT have to allow these hate groups to meet on OUR public streets where your citizens pay their taxes and raise their families on those streets!

Send a firm message to these hate groups:
YOUR KIND is not welcome here!
We are NOT afraid of you!
You do NOT speak FOR us!
Love WILL conquer hate!
GO HOME!

Mayor Ewing Wallace Cartwright, do not allow the board to issue this permit under any circumstance!
At this moment, I have faxed over a request, as well as the official form for a permit, in the event we could host a cookout at the city park. I will update as soon as I receive word. If this is not approved or they ask us not to then I am hoping to get enough people in on this to host a block party to celebrate the diversity, equality, acceptance, and love that makes us human.

Peace, love, and equality for all!
