@Iamivy05 A white boy calling me nigga IS violence. That principal didn’t make no distinctions between physical or psychological.

#JaylandWalker was murdered by Akron police who went from being on paid leave to resuming work because of a staffing crisis. However, 70+ community members were unjustly prosecuted for offenses related to protesting since the July 3rd. Sign the petition!

We March So We Don’t Forget! Monday we centered, celebrated unity and created a strong sense of solidarity within Akron. It was a reminder that things need to change in our community and we have the power to come together and create that change. It’s time for real accountability!
“Congratulations to a man who has tried to do all that he can to make this city better. Now we have to rethink what safety looks like as a community to ensure that our elected officials appoint the right person the next time.” - Rev. Ray Greene, Jr.
Beginning tomorrow, join us for a week of action as we learn more about political and voting education, leadership building and have the opportunity to build relationships. This our time to take action and continue seeking justice for Jayland. #jaylandwalker#akron#akronpolice
We're asking everyone to demand that Akron Police wear their name tags. Film a video telling @Akron_Police why it is important they wear their name tags! You can post it on your Twitter and tag us and use #AkronPoliceNameTags OR send your video to us and we will post it for you!
