SAY HER NAME: Vigil for the murder of Sandra Bland and countless others + Speak Out against state violence.
#sayhername is about recognizing that police and state violence not only destroys black male lives, but has historically done the same to black women.
This is a time for folks to come together to garner strength from the community, as we mourn many lives- many black women- who have been victimized by state violence.
The “Speak Out” portion will be a time for black women to share their art, stories, emotions and testimonies around the major issue of violence against black women.
All are welcome so long as the space is respected.
Feel free to bring family, children, friends.
We must acknowledge our need to mourn and feel, all while knowing that we will continue to resist in this war on black mothers, friends, sisters, nieces, daughters and individuals.
