      Clear Channel just rejected an UltraViolet billboard featuring Sandra
   Bland.

   Can you take just a minute to call Clear Channel and tell them to stop
   silencing those standing up for justice?

   Here's the number to call:

                         Clear Channel Outdoor Houston

   Dear Nancy,

   Clear Channel is standing in the way of justice for Sandra Bland, a Black
   woman found dead in police custody over a month ago.

   The ad agency rejected an UltraViolet billboard calling for the Waller
   County District Attorney to prosecute State Trooper Brian Encinia--who
   unlawfully arrested Bland. Public awareness is critical to holding law
   enforcement accountable, and with this decision, Clear Channel is helping
   local law enforcement avoid accountability in Bland's death.

   That's why we're demanding Clear Channel allow the billboard to run and
   stop silencing our calls for justice. We've done it before: When
   UltraViolet members called Clear Channel offices demanding they stop
   censoring women's health billboards, we won.^1 If thousands of us call
   Clear Channel today, they'll be forced to listen.

   Can you make a quick call to Clear Channel's office today?

   Here's the number to call:

     * Clear Channel Outdoor Houston, (281) 588-4200

   [3]After you call, click here to let us know how it went, so we can track
   our progress together.

   It's always best to speak in your own words, but here are some bullet
   points that can guide you.

   Tell Clear Channel to stop silencing the calls for justice for Sandra
   Bland because:

     * Sandra Bland does deserve justice. And part of that is prosecuting the
       officer who wrongfully arrested her in the first place.

     * Which side is Clear Channel on? By shutting down our billboard Clear
       Channel is helping local law enforcement avoid accountability in
       Bland's death.

     * The world is watching. Over 500,000 people are calling for justice for
       Sandra Bland, Clear Channel shouldn't silence them.

   [4]Will you make the call now?

   Thanks for speaking out.
