Today marks 12yrs since NYPD murdered #EricGarner during an unconstitutional stop. We still demand @NYCMayor @NYPDPC fire Lt.Christopher Bannon, Officer Justin D’Amico + all officers/city officials responsible for Eric’s death & cover-up. Sending love to Gwen Carr & Eric's family

It shouldn’t take a DECADE to discipline an officer who killed an unarmed father, or 6 years to schedule a trial 😡
📢 Rally with #DelrawnSmall’s family to demand @NYCMayor @NYPDPC schedule the trial & #FireWayneIsaacs 🚨 5/13 12pm City Hall

4 years ago today, #RonaldAnthonySmith was killed by NYPD Officers Orkhan Mamedov & Evan Siegel as they recklessly drove an NYPD van down a median, striking Mr. Smith and dragging his body 150 feet.
Neither officer has been held accountable -- they should be fired. #NeverForget

14 years ago today, at only 17, an unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot dead by George Zimmerman, fueling a movement,

“Part of what we need is policing change for all New Yorkers, immigrants or citizens."
@ImmDefense new report on NYPD & ICE's dangerous liaison gets directly to the point: without significant changes to policing, none of us are or will be truly safe.

Black Love comes hard!
They bombed his home targeting him, his wife and daughters!
True to his stellar character, he secured family, kept his word to our people in Detroit, flew out there in smoke tinged clothes and delivered
'The Last Message'!

They’ll never teach you about Paul Robeson. Or Queen Nzinga. Or Patrice Lumumba. Or Thomas Sankara. Or Funmilayo Ransom-Kuti.
They erase the revolutionaries, the intellectuals, the unbroken. They give you sanitized heroes who fit the narrative. But our true history is written by the rebels they tried to silence.

Her story can't be lost to history because her story is so necessary.
Claudette Colvin, whose 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement, has died. She was 86.

Today is the birthdays of two of my personal heroes.
Sundiata Acoli, 89 and Herman Bell!
Both NY Panthers!
Both BLA!
Both long term political prisoners!
Sundiata, Assata's surviving codefendant, did 49 years
Herman, of the NY3, did 44 years in prison
Never give up!

Nearly a decade ago, officer Wayne Isaacs gunned down unarmed #DelrawnSmall in front of his family. Yet Isaacs is still employed by the NYPD, and Small’s family said their loss has been pushed to the margin.
