“Since Oscar’s murder, over 1500 ppl have been killed by the California State police. The importance of data is so critical. We need to build accountability and restorative practices into our justice system.”

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about death row and capital punishment. I can be at home having a beautiful time and I’ll think what if California would’ve had their way, I wouldn’t be here right now”

“I can accept eye for an eye; neither the state or the government has the right to put me to death.” Akeem Browder (brother of Kalief Browder), IATD protest performance participant #IATD #abolishthedeathpenalty

“When we embody these words they will feel Troy Davis and understand why we want to abolish the system.” Uncle Bobby X (uncle of Oscar Grant, killed by BART police in 2012), participant of the I AM, protest performance. #IATD #abolishthedeathpenalty

“The people who do these things to us, they don’t see us as human, they see us as a commodity, they don’t care; folks on death row wait to be executed, my son was executed on the street. We are all victims of this injustice in so many different ways.” 1/2
