Brett Hankison violated Breonna Taylor’s civil rights. Now, he must do his time & reckon with the truth that her life mattered. But this moment is not enough. We will continue to demand justice for every Black woman who’s been told her life doesn’t. Say her name: Breonna Taylor.

Coach Youman Wilder stood between armed ICE agents and his team of Black & Latino youth — invoking their rights and refusing to back down. “I’m willing to die to make sure you get home,” he said. That’s what protection looks like. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/yo…

AttorneyCrump's tweet card. The coach said his "tough New York City kids" were scared enough by the interaction that he needed to get involved.

At just 17, Charles Collins & Brian Boles say they were coerced into confessing to a murder they didn’t commit. Their convictions were overturned after DNA cleared them — but the system can’t give back the years it stole. Injustice stole decades from these men. 🎥: New York Post

Three years ago today, Brianna Grier suffered a fatal brain injury after falling from a moving police vehicle. She deserved care in her moment of need. Her death is a tragic reminder of what happens when mental health is met with negligence instead of compassion. Rest in Power.
