National Action Against Police Brutality Follow-Up!

This week we welcome back our sister and colleague, Danette Chavis.  Chavis has tirelessly championed the petition demanding National Action Against Police Brutality. Yes, much more than the typical petition, this action has demands and ....

In recent months, people across the U.S. have risen up against the abuse and misuse of power by our government and its enforcers.  From New Mexico to California and onto Rhode Island, the people are now breaking their silent and too often, fragmented cases of sufferings. Now, it is time to unite in this fight "from sea to shining sea;" we must strategize to save lives!

The road has been long, but Chavis has gleaned more than 6,000 signatures and yes, that is big news!  Will you add your name?

Now, this is Bones, and I am concerned about that number of signatures (6000) because the list that names the victims of police brutality has a possible greater number!  In fact, data provided by the Stolen Lives Project's Face Book page confirms "... 4,000 cases of [people] killed by law enforcement nationwide;" that number does not include those who were brutalized and lived!  What's up?  You are!  Sign and live!

Checkmate.
