DC DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR REKIA BOYD & FREDDIE GRAY
La Palabra collected voices from this past Wednesday’s Vigil for Rekia Boyd, Black Women, Trans Women & Girls here in DC. The vigil was held to honor the lives of Black women who are impacted by state sanctioned violence, and later turned into a march that met up with the #DCFerguson march in solidarity with the #BaltimoreUprising. Listen up for some truths about intersectionality, who is impacted by police violence, and the importance of uplifting Black women.
The crowd chants a quote by Assata Shakur: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
