Special special thank you to mysisters who showed up for this. Thank you for showing up for the families whowant the world to know about their loved ones.
#SAYHERNAME OUT EVERYWHERE NOW.
The African American Policy Forum, alongside the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School, founded the #SayHerName campaign in December 2014 to elevate the names and stories of Black women, girls, and femmes who have too often been invisible victims of police violence. From this effort grew the #SayHerName Mothers Network, a community of mothers and family members of Black women, girls and femmes killed by police. The mission of the Mothers Network is to recover the memories of stolen lives, to provide support to other mothers and families who have been impacted by racist police violence, and to advocate for social, judicial, and legal interventions to ensure humane, life-affirming police encounters for communities across the nation.
