1/6 Another Black woman was kidnapped and held by the state, which resulted in her death. On January 19, Brittany Kittrell died 4 days after being arrested and placed in Durham County Jail on a $5000 bond. #DurhamCountyJailKills #BrittanyKittrell #SayHerName

Join us Wednesday at 5pm ET for our BCAP Town Hall, a conversation on policing and policy enforcement at Duke. Zoom and link to submit questions: linktr.ee/dukebcap

Our hearts are with the family of Brittany Kittrell. Being unable to make bail should never cost someone their life. Donate at bit.ly/BK5000DURM to support the families of those taken by Durham County Jail. #BrittanyKittrell #DurhamCountyJailKills #5000ToLife #EndMoneyBail

The death of another Black woman is at the hands of Durham County Jail and the predatory cash bail system. #BrittanyKittrell #DurhamCountyJailKills #EndMoneyBail #5000ToLife

We demand an IMMEDIATE END to the cash bail system. Being unable to pay your ransom to the state shouldn’t result in a death sentence during a pandemic. #EndMoneyBail #DurhamCountyJail #BrittanyKitrell #5000ToLife

In light of the BCAP town hall: Duke Mutual Aid fully supports Duke Black Coalition Against Policing and police abolition, specifically of the Duke and Durham police departments. Anything less reinforces white supremacy and causes immense harm to our community.

ANNOUNCEMENT: MAJOR UPDATE ON EVICTIONS DUE TO NON-PAYMENT IN DURHAM CO COURTS Earlier this week Chief District Court Judge Pat Evans issued a administrative order temporarily postponed eviction cases due to non-payment until May 1st. quickly, what this means (thread):

B/t the news of eight Asian women killed in GA today, 33 Vietnamese immigrants deported yesterday, the sharp spike in anti-Asian hate crimes, & decades of imperialism, this country is anti-Asian to its core. Sending love & solidarity to all of our Asian and Asian-American family

The police do not keep us safe.

DGSU stands with Duke's service workers demanding hazard pay, back pay, and robust COVID protections.

To be abolitionist is to be anti-imperialist. It means standing against all forms of militarized state violence, prisons—especially open-air ones—and other carceral (il)logics. Solidarity to the people of Palestine, Columbia, & all those resisting state terror. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

End the occupation. End the militarization. Free Palestine.

From Charlotte to Palestine it’s fuck the (militarized) police.
