“I strongly support a pardon for Amreya Shefa, who's coming before the MN Board of Pardons on 6/12. I urge you to drop your opposition to her pardon." #PardonShefa#SurvivedAndPunished
Toolkit: https://t.co/PAhjcgr34X
This Fri, 6/12, Shefa has a pardon hearing. Tell @hennepinatty Mike Freeman to drop his opposition to #pardonShefa. Join us & fight for Shefa’s freedom from detention so she can be reunited with her children and loved ones in community. #ProtectBlackSurvivors#SurvivedAndPunished
In 2011, @HennepinAtty Mike Freeman prosecuted CeCe McDonald, Black trans woman who defended herself from anti-Black, transphobic attack. Now, from same county where #GeorgeFloyd was murdered, Freeman opposes #PardonShefa, Black immigrant survivor who defended herself from rape.
THREAD: #PardonShefa
Amreya Shefa is an Ethiopian immigrant survivor, fighting deportation after defending herself from rape. Like many Black women who defended themselves from violence, Shefa is punished for surviving. #ProtectBlackSurvivors
