For Sandra. Today is the 5th anniversary of Sandra Bland’s murder by police & prison officials. So we made this collage of voices.

Today we honor Sandra’s life and Sandra’s resistance. We join in the call for the abolition of police and prisons, the two institutions that took her life. We recognize that as long as these systems exist, nowhere is truly safe for us. We call on everyone to take meaningful action today in resisting and pushing back against systems of policing and prisons. If you’re looking for places to start, here are some things you can do today:

-Donate to & support alternatives to policing like Oakland Power Projects, the Audre Lorde Project, The Owl Movement, National BailOut, and Project NIA.

-Text HEAT to 40469 to join local actions to #DefundThePolice

-Donate to Masks For The People at livefreeusa.org to help provide FREE masks and sanitizer to black & brown communities disproportionately impacted by COVID19

-Follow @criticalresistance, @dreamdefenders, @youthjusticela, @survivepunish, @refundraleigh, @blackvisionscollective, @votenola, @mijente, @raices, @byp100 and other organizations fighting to end policing and end prisons.

-Support the BREATHE Act through @mvmt4blklives or breatheact.org

We love you Sandra. No justice, no peace. Defund the police.
