All the verdicts of the officers involved in the killing of Elijah McClain have been released. ❌Jason Rosenblatt- acquitted of all charges. ✅Randy Roedema- convicted of criminally negligent homicide & assault. ❌Nathan Woodyard- acquitted of all charges. This is not justice.

ICYMI🚨 Earlier this month, a judicial circuit district attorney chose not to press charges against the troopers involved in the tragic loss of activist Manuel #Tortuguita Teran. This grievous injustice increases the risk for our people and activists.

Charges dropped for police officers involved in racist texts. This is a glaring example of the broken system that perpetuates racism within law enforcement. We must demand accountability & justice in policing to ensure equity & safety for all. #LEAPaction.

Black women bear a disproportionate burden of police violence. Despite making up only 13% of women in the United States, they account for 20% of women fatally shot by the police and 28% of unarmed killings. #LEAPaction
