It’s been 6 years since Marcus-David Peters was needlessly shot and killed by police. Marcus was unarmed, undressed and suffering a mental health crisis. Virginia still has yet to enact any measure to ensure people are safe from law enforcement when in crisis. #helpnotdeath

TW: police violence + murder
Hanover county, VA #HelpNotDeath
She called 911 when her brother was in crisis. Then, he was shot by a Hanover sheriff’s deputy.
“I just want to be able to see him and tell him how sorry I am, that I should’ve never ever called 911.” @CBS6

Rest In Power Marcus-David Peters ( 10/15/1993-5/15/2018). I will NEVER forget! #HelpNotDeath

Happy 29th Birthday Marcus-David Peters💕. We LOVE & miss you dearly. Marcus was a young Black Biology Teacher who was murdered by a Richmond, VA police officer while he was unarmed, completely undressed & having his very first mental health crisis. Marcus deserved #HelpNotDeath.
I can’t even reflect on 2021 without thinking ab the last few years:
2018: #HelpNotDeath
2019: #PeopleOverProfit
2020: #DefundPolice
2021: #LegalizeItRight
I’m proud of the work & I deserve rest.
2017- quit social work
2018- #helpnotdeath
2019- #peopleoverprofit
2020- #defundpolice
2021- #legalizeitright
I do this every time i start to feel guilty for enjoying my summer & not forcing work that doesn’t impact the mission.
#blackTRANSlivesmatter #BlackLivesMatter #helpnotdeath stickers are being handed out by Princess Blanding’s campaign at today’s celebration! Blanding is running as an independent candidate for governor.

I don’t want to see anyone lose their life, but “restoring trust?”
What is “safe?”
This on a day that we should all be talking about Marcus-David Peters. He needed #HelpNotDeath. He and so many others that have been killed by police.
This #NationalLawEnforcemmentWeek, let’s honor the officers who lost their lives in the line of duty and restore trust between law enforcement and our communities by committing ourselves to true justice reform to keep every Virginian safe.

Today we remember Marcus-David Peters—unarmed, suffering a mental health crisis, killed when a police officer shot him 3x. A bill passed in VA in 2020 implements a crisis alert system...
that isn’t unified statewide, & doesn’t ban LEO’s from using lethal force.

People experiencing mental health crises need #HelpNotDeath.
Virginia should take the lead from other cities that have stopped dispatching police to nonviolent incidents caused by someone experiencing mental illness, addiction, or homelessness.

A massive cultural shift is needed to ensure people experiencing mental health crises receive #HelpNotDeath. Community-based organizers having been forging a different way forward for many years. https://t.co/YbjaCXDjd0

Natasha McKenna was killed by Fairfax police and they said she died of so-called “excited delirium” — I will never forget. Justice for Natasha McKenna. She had a daughter. She deserved life. #HelpNotDeath
"Help Not Death" #HelpNotDeath
Help Not Death. People with mental health issues are 16 times more likely to be killed by police. Mental illness shouldn't be a death sentence.

😞 My love, strength, and condolences go out to Walter’s family 😞. Walter deserved #HelpNotDeath. We have to do better, we WILL Claim Better!
This is a lot for one night. Philly is my second home. I lived on Locust as a kid (blocks away).
What happened to Walter Wallace Jr is like what happened to Marcus-David Peters.
Both needed help.
Neither deserved death.
Say it again #HelpNotDeath
