KKK Flyers Target Black Lives Matter – WesternSlopeNow

Category: Black Lives Matter

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The Mesa County Sheriff's Office said there was at least one report of a Ku Klux Klan recruitment flyer in an Orchard Mesa neighborhood near the end of July. The flyer specifically targeted the organization Black Lives Matter.

The letter said that Black Lives Matter was "killing white people and police officers in the name of justice," and lists reasons to join the KKK.

Local Black Lives Matter representatives said they hope citizens take notice of the letter, and that it sparks a dialogue about racial tensions in Mesa County. "Honestly, the flyer is going to do nothing and go nowhere. But for the off chance that it does - who's going to stand up, who's going to take notice, who's going to challenge it, and what are the ramifications for even challenging it," said Jon Williams, the co-founder of the local Black Lives Matter chapter.

Williams also said that the local Black Lives Matter chapter is here to help educate the community about racial hardships.
