  An Invitation to Join Us
Mothers, who have lost love-ones to in-custody deaths, are gathering to commemorate the life of their sons and start a movement for change. Law enforcement MUST be accountable for unnecessary excessive force that results in the deaths of our defenseless sons.

This pivotal event that brings in the New Year is something so unexpected, so new, so needed and so timely. These mothers have decided to defy the unjust actions of police officers and jailers that result in stolen lives. They are determined to share and educate other mothers as well as citizens through their painful experiences.

Until law enforcement sees the wisdom of having responsible leadership and accountability, this injustice will continue. Until the blue shield of silence is crushed, good officers will continue to remain silent. And until we make our voices heard, these senseless killings will continue to erode public confidence in the legal system. Where there is injustice, there must be change. However, it takes a united force in numbers to bring about needed change therefore, we invite you to join us on December 29.

Injustice ANYWHERE is a threat to justice EVERYWHERE!!
