Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo Statement in Support of Dr. Jill Stein

Dr. Jill Stein understands that we are at the confluence of a historic period that requires mass mobilization to confront what Dr. King called the “the urgency of now.” We need a president who understands the “urgency” to fight for revolutionary charge that will dismantle the system of white supremacy, militarism, environmental racism and the war against whistleblowers.

Jill Stein has the courage to describe the massacre at Emmanuel African Episcopal Church as an act of white supremacy and not attempt to divert the conversation to one of gun control. The lives of Emmitt Till, Meager Evers, Michael Brown, Martin Luther King, Jr., Walter Scott, Trayvon Martin, and 12 year old Tamil Rice converged in an uniquely grotesque brotherhood of death on the streets of America where blood, dirt and white hatred walks around with impunity to kill.

These murders are in addition to a carnivorous prison industrial complex bloated with nearly 1 million bodies that has meticulously impaled black men, boys and black families.

These are the issues that must be addressed but only one candidate, Jill Stein has the moral authority to speak truth to power.

We have learned some valuable lessons over the past 6 years: We now know what to expect from the Obama administration – nothing. We now know what to expect from the president's commission on policing – nothing. We have by now seen the only real policy the government has to address the epidemic of black deaths because of white supremacy is – waiting us out until the storm blows over. That's it.

But, this administration has underestimated us and underestimated the resistance movement.

Hilary Clinton, during her speech at the US Conference on Mayors said that an African-American child’s chance of dying from asthma is 500% greater than that of a white child. She asked the question…how can that be? Well, there is no great mystery. The EPA allows industries that pollute to site near African and low-income communities. And, Whistleblowers who are courageous enough to sound the alarm against polluting industries and multi-national corporations that endanger thousands of lives, like I did, are routinely harassed, retaliated against, dragged through expensive legal proceedings, receive death threats, incarcerated and usually are destroyed. This must stop now!

Under a Green Party administration – these whisleblowers, such as Chelsea Manning will be immediately released from prison, polluting industries will be forced to shut down or clean-up – and whistleblowers will be considered heroes.

America is looking for an alternative to the leaders of the two corporate parties – and her name is Dr. Jill Stein.
