#BrianKemp ordered the arrest of the first African-Americans elected to the Quitman school board – whom he charged with the felony crime of ballot stuffing! The #Quitman10 were paraded before cameras in handcuffs and orange suits, like they were terrorists in Guantanamo. #gapol

All charges were dropped — eventually — but not until one school board member, Latashia Head, who suffered from lupus, died. Her father said the cause was “stress brought about by Brian P. Kemp.” gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…

In our film, Vigilante, we talk to local journalist George Rhynes, who extensively covered Kemp's persecution of the #Quitman10. Ahead of the #GeorgiaRunoff elections on Dec 6, Rhynes wants to hold a showing of our film in Quitman, but he needs your help. gregpalast.com/georgia-screen…

Indeed, with the #GeorgiaRunoff looming, many #VotingRights activists are asking for our help in quickly setting up screenings with get-out-the-vote events. All these screenings take 24/7 organizing – and money. Lots of organizing…but not lots of money. gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…

The logistics of one screening — these are go-to-the-polls meetings so we also provide food — cost about $500 per venue. Donate what you can, but if you can donate $500, we’ll list you as the sponsor. gregpalast.com/georgia-screen…

I want to thank you for your generosity so far, but we simply don’t have the budget for a run-off and we are still paying off bills. And I’m returning to #Georgia, not just to show the film but to update it with new investigative findings. gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…

Let’s get this film into the rural #Georgia townships that face the sharp edge of Jim Crow 2.0.
