Important Action Request

Dear City Council,

Buju Banton is scheduled to appear at the Knight Center in Miami. His lyrics encourage people to torture and murder gay men.

His song "Boom Boom Bye" is about pouring acid on gay people, "burning them up bad like an old tire wheel", and shooting them in the head with an Uzi. He also sings ""Anytime Buju Banton come, f--gots get up and run ... they have to die".
The city-owned Knight Center is no place for this kind of hatred and should not provide a venue for incitement to murder.

Other cities in Florida and across the country have cancelled and we call on the City and the Knight center to take a stand against hate..

[Your name]
