There are numerous instances where Black people are assumed to be stealing or more likely to steal because of certain stereotypes and the color of our skin.

I've heard many stories about us being followed around stores. I was even profiled once myself.

This is an instance that unfortunately was fatal. I see it rightfully being compared to what happened to Latasha Harlins in LA.

The fact they didn't find any malice on the part of store owner is wild. But not unsurprising.

Black people have a hard time convincing people that antiblackness is more than slurs. And even with those...

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

Mother’s Day passed in many parts of the world, and people celebrated all over. However, over Mother’s Day weekend Hamza’s family’s fundraiser was taken down by gofundme. They now have to start from square one all over again.

Hamza has several young nieces who are all suffering from malnutrition. Please, if you have the means, donate to their family. It would mean a lot to them.

In the U.S., Native people are victimized by violence at 2.5 times the rate of all other racial demographics, and are 2 times more likely to be victimized by rape and sexual assault. This violence has an even greater disproportionate impact on Native women, girls, Two-Spirit people, and other trans and gender-diverse people. Native women on some reservations face a murder rate 10 times that of the national average, and over half of Native women have experienced sexual violence.

You can dress in red and/or wear a red handprint on May 5 to honor the missing and murdered, discuss the epidemic of violence against Native people and particularly Native people of marginalized genders, and consider donating to organizations supporting Native Peoples, people, and rights.
