Girls Club scores Colin Kaepernick for gala
BY LINCOLN ANDERSON
The Lower East Side
Girls Club will honor
Colin Kaepernick and
the Know Your Rights Camp
at its Spring Fling Gala on
Wed., April 10, at the Angel
Orensanz Center, at 172 Norfolk
St.
Kaepernick was a quarterback
with the San Francisco
49ers for seven seasons, and
led them in the 2012 Super
Bowl. During the 2016 and ’17
seasons, he kneeled during the
national anthem before games
to highlight racial injustice and
police brutality. The protest
snowballed with more players
joining in — especially after
President Trump, in September
2017, urged team owners
to fi re players who kneeled.
Since the ’17 season’s end,
Kaepernick has been an unsigned
free agent. He recently
settled a grievance with the
National Football League and
team owners that charged collusion
to keep him out of the
game.
“We are thrilled to honor
Colin Kaepernick and
Know Your Rights Camp,” the
Colin Kaepernick will be honored by the Lower Eastside Girls Club at its Spring Fling
Gala in April.

Lower Eastside Girls Club said.
“For the past three years, Colin
has been a supporter, mentor
and inspiration for the Girls
Club. His bravery and commitment
to racial and social justice
has encouraged our members to
stand up for what they believe
in and to embrace their identity
as activists and advocates.”
Founded by Kaepernick,
Know Your Rights Camp is a
free nationwide youth initiative.
The group’s goal is to raise
awareness around higher education
and self-empowerment,
plus provide “instruction on
how to properly interact with
law enforcement in various
scenarios.”
Know Your Rights Camp’s
stated goal is “To help build a
stronger generation of people
that will create the change that
is much needed in this world.”
Lower Eastside Girls
Club members have worked as
youth ambassadors alongside
Kaepernick and the group’s female
leadership.
More honorees for the Girls
Club’s April 10 gala are to be
announced. For more information,
