Produced by the Building Bridges Coalition in partnership with E5 EnclaveUntil Monday, November 2 · 12:00 PM · Attorney General’s Office, Jackson
Four days, one name. The weekend opens with the coalition’s press conference in Jackson, turns on Sunday to what should have been Kohen’s second birthday, and culminates Monday at noon outside the office that called his killing justified. Wear baby blue and orange. Bring somebody.
Every day of this weekend carries a piece of the demand. Come to one — come to all three — and bring the people who keep asking what they can do. This is what they can do.
The weekend opens in Jackson, where the coalition puts the Attorney General’s record — the closed case, the missing announcements, her own tie-break rule — in front of the cameras, in Kohen’s name.
Jackson, Mississippi
Time & location as announced by the coalition.
November 1 should have been Kohen’s second birthday. The coalition marks it the way his family should have been able to — together, in baby blue and orange, with his name spoken out loud. Memorial gatherings in Senatobia and Jackson.
Senatobia + Jackson, Mississippi
Wear baby blue and orange.
A protest against Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s decision not to prosecute former Police Sergeant Hunter Foster — held at her own office, the day after Kohen’s birthday. Peaceful, disciplined, and impossible to ignore.
Mississippi Attorney General’s Office
550 High Street, Suite 1200
Jackson, MS 39201
This is a disciplined, nonviolent action in a baby’s name. Marshals and the family’s wishes set the tone — follow them.
Baby blue and orange — his memorial colors. From a block away, Jackson should see one movement.
Water, a charged phone, and a handmade sign. His name, his face, the demand: Prosecute Hunter Foster.
Call the Attorney General that morning — (601) 359-3680 — and light a candle on Kohen’s wall. Presence has more than one form.
The coalition’s own flyer for November 2 — click for the full-size print copy. Every copy on a door, a dash, or a feed is another person standing in Jackson on Monday.
Convened by the Building Bridges Coalition — with Black Lives Matter Grassroots, the JXN People’s Assembly, The Movement for Black Lives, and the Dexter Wade Lost Sheep Foundation, as shown on the coalition flyer.
Kohen Kartier Wiley should be turning two. Instead, his family is asking Mississippi to show up. Be there Monday, November 2, at noon — and if you cannot be there, make the call that morning.
