John,

Sonya Massey should still be alive. 

But after calling the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office for help on July 6,
her family and her community are left grieving the loss of the 36 year
old. Despite the officers initially telling the family her death was a
suicide, body cam footage now released to the public has resulted in
charges against the officer who shot and killed Sonya Massey.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. Police violence against
Black women is a systemic – though underrecognized – issue across the
country. 

[ [link removed] ]Join us and our partners at the In Our Names Network on Thursday,
August 1 at 7:30 pm for a webinar on police violence against Black women.

In order to bring about a feminist future, we must value and protect all
of our lives, especially those who are historically most vulnerable. There
is no feminist future in which Sonya Massey, or Atatiana Jefferson, or
Sandra Bland, or Aiyana Stanley-Jones or so many more are allowed to die
at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve.  

[ [link removed] ]John, register here and join us for this important
discussion about police violence and the ways Black communities are
pulling together to respond to it.

In the words of the inimitable Fannie Lou Hamer, “None of us are free
until all of us are free.” Let’s get free together.

 

In struggle, 

Tamika Middleton
