As we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride this month, we also recognize the disproportionate impact that the foster care, juvenile legal, & criminal legal systems have had on Black LGBTQ+ women, girls, & gender-expansive people. The numbers are staggering 👉🏿 nbwji.org/post/black-lgb…

Sonya Massey should be alive today. We are thinking of Sonya & the unfortunate sisterhood of Black women & gender-expansive ppl who have been killed by police. Our sisters will not be forgotten, & no form of police violence against Black women & girls will be ignored #SayHerName

"It is baffling that policing continues to be upheld as an effective model of public safety in the US, when countless Black women have been killed by the very same police officers who they called for help." —Dr. Sydney McKinney, Executive Director nbwji.org/post/statement…

A Franklin County, Ohio, grand jury indicted a police officer for killing Ta’Kiya Young, a 21-year-old pregnant mom. Click the link to find out how many other police officers in that county are pending trial for killing Black people: captialbnews.org/ohio-mom-kille…

One thing I’ve noticed is that some of the aggregated coverage of Chrystul Kizer’s sentence refers to Volar as an “alleged” abuser or says Kizer “claims” he abused her. That wasn’t something in dispute. Prosecutors admit Volar abused Kizer when she was underage.

Chrystul Kizer is a child sex-trafficking victim & survivor. She is now facing 11 years in prison for surviving. We’re resharing our statement from earlier this summer about her plea deal: nbwji.org/post/chrystul-… #JusticeforChrystul

Yes! And when Black women are imprisoned at 1.6x the rate of white women, efforts to end women's mass incarceration must center the experiences and needs of Black women.
