Don’t ever talk to me about how Black people aren’t owed reparations because no one alive has suffered what the reparations are for. These survivors for more than a century have stubbornly refused to die, only to be denied justice again and again. That is despite the fact that the state of Oklahoma’s own task force recommended reparations.

What is the statute of limitations on crimes against humanity?

Another New Yorker in mental distress seeking help has been killed by the NYPD. Our full statement here: changethenypd.org/releases/commu… The NYPD must be removed from mental health response & the killers of #WinzinzentRozaro & too many others in mental distress must be fired.

Winzinzent Rozaro was 19 years old. He reportedly called 911 for help. Instead, police officers - who were not mental health professionals - killed him while he was in a mental health crisis. Reaching out for support should not have fatal consequences. nydailynews.com/2024/03/27/nyp…

You really can’t overstate how brutally out of control policing is in the US.
