Wow, these kids are the real deal.

A group of youth social justice leaders plan to go to Geneva, Switzerland this November to deliver testimony about the experiences of young people, people of color and other marginalized communities who face targeted violence by police in the Chicago area.

The grass-roots group who call themselves, We Charge Genocide, will speak before the United Nations Against Torture. Their name comes from a petition that was delivered to the United Nations in 1951. Using stories and data from their Youth Hearing On Police Violence the delegates where they will speak out against the crimes against humanity that are apart of the are the norm for minority groups in Chicago and across the nation.

“The youth testimonies and CPD data analyzed in our report to the UN reveals a pattern of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of young people of color by the CPD. This abuse occurs at extraordinary rates, disproportionately against youth of color, and with impunity. Unfortunately, the CPD refuses to acknowledge or respond to this pervasive violence, and thus we are appealing to the UN for support.” said Page May, a We Charge Genocide organizer in a press release.


The group has released a video along with their crowd funding campaign where members of the group dare to say the word “So many of us are afraid to speak.”

The group has raised $3,777 dollars of the $15,000 needed to send the six delegates to Geneva, Switzerland to testify before the U.N. You can check out their crowd fund here: We Charge Genocide.

DUMB

Inconceivable

 

[TheIronSheik]

Because Chicago would be the safest place on Earth if it wasn't for those damn police officers.

They should probably look up the word genocide first.

More like shemnocide, amirite?

But then they'd have to look inward and see the number of wounded/dead the citizens of Chicago are leaving on their own streets, without the Police's help.

Not saying there isn't a problem with the CPD, but this is ridiculous.

Introspection can be painful. It's easier to create boogeymen.

Is this real or from "The Onion?"

Institutionalized stupidity.

It is a new concept. It is satire without the humor.

So is this how it works? There's a bunch of people sitting in a conference room in the alps, just willing to listen to whoever walks through the doors?

Well, you still need to present a message that the UN is already predisposed to agree with. For instance, delegates will get a hearing for a "Death to Israel!" message but not for "Death to Palestine!" one.

Greyhound might run them a little less- we've got a UN right here in NYC. Plus a bunch of people to heckle them.

Although the going to the UN part is stupid, this part has some true to it:

Are you being repressed? Is your government committing genocide on your race or religious group? We listen, we care, and we condemn! Inquire about our travel plans, please limit your committee to 12 or fewer.

Act now, and we'll throw in not one, but TWO resolutions strenuously condemning your antagonist.

 

[TheIronSheik]

This seems like money well spent.

 

[sublimeone]

The time/money might be better spent trying to convince young black males to stop killing other young black males.

If your group consists of a majority of people of color (not currently living in Africa) a free follow up resolution in 6 months.
