TAKE IT DOWN! Founder Sues to Defund Confederate Monuments
Taking down confederate monuments, TakeItDown! Founder, Earl M Johnson Jr., asked a federal judge Thursday for an order barring the city and state from spending any money to maintain or preserve any public tribute to Confederates, from statues to street signs. “We want … to get the Confederacy off of welfare,” said Earl M. Johnson Jr., who campaigns to remove memorials to the Confederacy through the website TakeItDownNow.org. The lawsuit argues that spending taxpayer money for tributes to the Confederacy violates the U.S. Constitution’s 13th and 14th Amendments, and says Johnson has “rights to be free of the badges, indicia and vestiges of slavery and to equal protection under the law.” If the suit is successful, a finding like that would impact budgets of countless communities nationwide.

TakeItDown.Org: Taking Down the Confederacy
What is the Confederacy? Ask the Confederate Vice President:
According to Confederate Vice President, Alexander Stephens, in the cornerstone speech, the American Traitors created the first government founded upon white supremacy - rejecting the American ideal that all men were created equal, denouncing American Citizenship, taking up arms against the U.S. to maintain enslavement of Black people - because ”the negro is not equal to the white man.”
