Activists Demand ALEC Stop 'Kill at Will'
Carrying signs that say “Don’t Shoot Me,” activists from civil and human rights groups, unions, community organizations and faith groups, inlcuding AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth Shuler, will protest at noon tomorrow at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The activists will demand that ALEC, the corporate-sponsored author of model state legislation, including Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” or “Kill at Will” law being used to justify the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, disclose funding it receives from the National Rifle Association (NRA) and stop promoting this legislation in other states.
