Content Warning: This email discusses police brutality and murder.
Over the past week, protests and memorials have taken place across our
country, and around the globe. Black freedom fighters, organizers,
community-builders, and allies raised their voices in Boston, D.C.,
Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and so many more cities and towns.
On Tuesday, I attended a vigil for George Floyd in Boston organized by
Violence in Boston, a trailblazing grassroots organization that is doing
the work to end injustice and improve the quality of life for folx in our
community.
They are joined in that work by Families for Justice as Healing, another
organization in Boston focused on ending the incarceration of women and
girls. They empower formerly incarcerated women to join the movement to
create community-based alternatives to incarceration that center healing.

between Violence in Boston and Families for Justice as Healing today?
Every contribution will help uplift our community and support the
organizers and activists who are working to end systemic racism.

Black bodies have been profiled, surveyed, policed, lynched, choked,
incarcerated, and murdered at the hands of police officers with callous
disregard and without accountability.
There will be unrest in our streets for as long as there is unrest in our
lives, and we are calling for deep, lasting structural, legislated change
— to advance healing and justice.
Violence in Boston and Families for Justice as Healing are two
organizations in Boston working every single day to dismantle and
reimagine our racist, oppressive criminal injustice system.
[ [link removed] ]Please split a contribution between these
two powerful organizations today to uplift their work, and make sure that
they have the resources to continue the fight for racial justice.
Change comes when we organize for it, when we mobilize for it, and when we
demand it. Thank you for demanding necessary change.
In solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
