It's almost 5 years since the bodies of the #SugarLand95 were wrongfully uncovered by @FortBendISD and we have nothing to show for it other than @FortBendISD evading basic accountability. Join us next Saturday on Zoom as we continue to honor our ancestors and fight for them. ✊🏽

Police shot at Jayland Walker 90 times because of a traffic violation. On the same weekend, police arrested a mass shooter unharmed, who had just killed 6 people & injured 36 others. Police are here to uphold white supremacist systems, not to serve and protect our communities.
