Noted community activist Najee Ali will be joined by a coalition of civil rights leaders who will call for the Biden Administration to exercise all avenues for the release of former-WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison on Thursday.

Civil rights activists will hold a rally for the release of former-WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison after being convicted on drug charges.

"A coalition of Los Angeles civil rights leaders are calling for the immediate humanitarian release of WNBA star Brittney Griner and for the Biden administration to exhaust every avenue possible to bring Brittney Griner and other Americans detained in Russia home," said Najee Ali, Director of Project Islamic Hope and noted community and civil rights activist, in a statement.

The rally was scheduled for noon at the Community Build, a local company that works to revitalize low-income communities in South Los Angeles through human capital investment, community economic development, and commercial economic development, as detailed by their website.

Yes, rally.....because all of the media attention did wonders for her trial in Russia.

Tell them go to russia and protest.

🤡

Lol… Let me guess, black activists.

I think there's more people hoping she stays over there than there are wanting her back

Activist: someone with nothing better to do. She never liked the United States, find something better to do.

💯🤡 there is nothing they can do or say that will set her free. 😏

“ACTIVISTS” will LOOT, VANDALIZE, DESTROY, STEAL. & SET FIRE ESTABLISHMENTS aka BLM v2.0

Respect the laws

Dude wtf let it go

Maybe you all put together some money and send her to REHAB

Lol

She violated Russian law …. And probably new that she was …. Travel to a foreign country …. Research the laws where you are going. No special privileges in other countries!!!!! Remember that

Do you people honestly think you can aid Ukraine with weapons and financing that kills Russian soldiers and expect them to release a convicted U.S. Citizen on drug charges? Putin is a former KGB Assassin. He’s murdered dissenters with his bare hands. You can’t be that naive!

what the hell is that going to prove over here. we didn't want her to be sentenced 9 yrs lol

A rally won’t do anything

😂 these 'activists' should go to Russia & protest his release there!😉
