🚨 WE'RE CALLING FOR JUSTICE. Kohen Wiley was a 1-year-old baby shot and murdered by former police sergeant Hunter Foster. If you're in Mississippi, we want to see you on Monday 11/2 at AG Lynch's office to protest her decision NOT to prosecute.

I asked the SAO Mosby, in light of the violence devastating our city, and the staffing crisis in the State’s Attorney’s Office whether continuing to try Keith Davis Jr for a fifth time is a good use of our prosecutorial resources?

Honored to have joined thousands of freedom fighters on Saturday to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington and continue the fight against voter suppression and police brutality. Congress must act on these issues today.

After Wednesday’s deadly attack on the capital, the coordination of domestic terrorist with the police, & the shootings of unarmed Black People for far less than a Coup attempt, do we really still have to have a debate about why police/law enforcement needs to be defunded? 🙄😒🤦🏿♂️
