I really need folks to understand what is happening in Gary, Indiana RIGHT NOW.
It has been 8 DAYS since the August 11 storm.
And thousands of people in Gary are still without electricity.
Eight days.
No lights. No air conditioning. Refrigerators full of spoiled food. Families trying to figure out where to eat, get medical services and simply survive.
How is this not a bigger national story?
We can't forget how Kohen Wiley was taken from his family. He was 1 year old when he was fatally shot by an officer responding to an alleged shoplifting call outside of a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi. His mother had to witness her innocent baby, who had barely begun to see this world, be killed. No parent should ever have to carry that image. Kohen deserved to grow up. His family deserves justice, and we will not stop fighting until they get it.
