Petition to RELEASE Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman

The Issue

On the night of May 29th,Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman threw a Molotov cocktail into an EMPTY police car, which resulted in no deaths or injuries. They are now facing LIFE IN PRISON. This is yet another example of how our system constantly fails us, especially people of color. 

Countless white male police officers, rapists, murderers, domestic abusers, never see the inside of a jail cell. Others, like in the case of Brock Turner, are released after 3 months. 

This is an absolute disgrace, ONCE AGAIN, on behalf of our justice system, which continues to uphold its racist, problematic policies.

We are calling for the prosecutors to drop the charges against these individuals and release them.
