Remove Lee Monument from Monument Ave in Richmond, VA

The Issue

On June 4th, Governor Ralph Northam announced the removal of the Lee monument in Richmond VA on Monument Ave. Though many support this decision, there has been some backlash including a 10 day injunction issued from a judge after a petition was filed from a descendant of a donor to the Lee monument fund. 
We are SO close! Do not let them slow us down! Sign this petition to let it be known that you support Governor Northam’s decision to bring down the Robert E. Lee Monument! Confederate monuments do not have a place in American streets! This would be a huge step for our generation if we achieved this! Please Sign and share! Thank you!
