Qualified Immunity needs legislative reform

The doctrine of Qualified Immunity is unfit for purpose. We ask the US Supreme Court to reconsider its scope and particularly its application to cases of excessive force and police brutality.

The information below is sourced from https://theappeal.org/qualified-immunity-explained/

The Supreme Court established qualified immunity in 1967, creating it as an exception for public officials who had acted in “good faith” and believed that their conduct was authorized by law. Fifteen years later, in Harlow v. Fitzgerald, the Court expanded the defense. The protection afforded to public officials would no longer turn on whether the official acted in “good faith.” Instead, even officials who violate peoples’ rights maliciously will be immune unless the victim can show that his or her right was “clearly established.”

Qualified immunity means that victims of brutality or harassment by law enforcement generally get no relief in court and have no ability to hold offending officers accountable for their actions. That means the officers who commit the brutality and harassment—and the governments that employ them—have little incentive to improve their practices and follow the law.

SIGN THE PETITION RIGHT HERE.

DISSENT ≠ TERRORISM #JunkTerrorBill

Because of the Philippines’ poor governance in the midst of this pandemic, the number of people criticizing the Duterte administration has reached an exponential high. Because of this, they are fast-tracking a bill that allows our government to silence critics and activists, violating our human rights and strengthening state fascism.

As such, we would like to CALL FOR YOUR HELP.

Filipinos are holding an #EmailProtest at 8PM (GMT +8) every day, as a call to #JunkTerrorBill. Petitions mean nothing to the PH Government, so directly emailing them would be more effective.

THE EMAIL

USE BURNER EMAILS. (x) Especially for those living in the country.

SEND TO: [email protected] and [email protected]

SUBJECT: Junk Terror Bill, or Anti-Terror Bill, or Senate Bill No. 1083 (Please use variations for the subject lines to avoid getting emails marked as spam i.e. JUNK T3RR0R B1LL etc.)

BODY TEMPLATE: We urge the rejection of the ‘Anti-Terror Bill’ to protect the fundamental right of Filipinos to freedom of speech.

Feel free to add any concerns / additional information.

You can find compilations of information and updates in this CARRD and more email templates in THIS GDOC.

Please signal-boost this post and the tweets found in the abovementioned links, if you can!

This regime has been violent and oppressive from the start. Help stop the Bill that impedes the rights of the Filipino People.

White people: if you want to help long term: get used to being told your opinion is wrong, irrelevant, or unwanted. Tell your friends to get used to it. Work on getting used to it and do this work with other white people. Because white supremacy has all of y’all very used  to being right and being an inherently valued voice and if we’re going to fight white supremacy you’re going to have to be comfortable surrendering that expectation and also white people will need to learn how to handle being rejected or disagreed with. It’s an extension of racism and racial trauma for black people to try and educate or speak up about our issues only to expose ourselves to your white fragility which  makes you defensive– this defensiveness can look like shutting down, silencing us, painting all corrections or disagreements as ‘fighs’ (extending the idea that black people are aggressive) etc.

White resilience is the opposite of white fragility and black people are VERY good at resilience, unfortunately. Listen to us we know how to combat this.

DONATIONS FOR BRAZILIAN BLACK/NATIVE INSTITUTIONS!

Hi, everyone! Donations have been amazing for the charity commissions I’m doing, and I didn’t link these institutions there because I am not sure if foreign credit cards will work for donating, but if they do, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO ANY LINK OF THESE BRAZILIAN INSTITUTIONS! They are all geared towards supporting Black and Native communities in Brazil, which are always in dire need of support and attention. Keep in mind that the current exchange rate is 1 dollar = 5.21 Brazilian Reais, so anything you donate to these fundraisers will be five times their worth! People who have their income in dollars really don’t need to donate much at all to change lives! So please, please consider donating some amount here if you’re able! 

#no matter how little you donate it makes a difference considering the conversion!! #signal boost
