Remove the Confederate Flag

I'm Karen Hunter, a fellow MoveOn member, and I started a petition to the South Carolina Legislature and Governor Nikki Haley.
On the heels of the brutal killing of nine black people in a South Carolina church, it's time to put a symbol of rebellion and racism behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America.¹
Can you join me in telling South Carolina lawmakers:
Symbols of hate and division have no place in our government. It's time to stand up for what's right and take down the Confederate flag!
The Confederate flag is not a symbol of southern pride but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism.
Tell South Carolina lawmakers: Symbols of hate have no place in our government.
