She added, “These types of killings and this type of force will not be interrupted unless we have courageous elected officials come forward and challenge not just the police, but also the policies.”
National data has shown that roughly 10% of killings by police each year start with a traffic encounter, and that one in three people killed were fleeing before lethal force was used. Last year was the deadliest year for police violence since experts started tracking killings nationwide in 2013, according to a recent analysis. The LAPD has also fatally shot two people so far this year, and in 2020 killed Daniel Hernandez after he was in a car accident.

Teacher and cousin of Black Lives Matter founder ‘Tased to death’ by LAPD ‘He needed help and was killed,’ says Patrisse Cullors, as police are seen repeatedly using stun gun on him after traffic accident

Join us this Thursday for a deeper dive into the conversation of identity.

What Does African Diaspora Unity Look Like? Deepen our understanding of the Afro-Diaspora and what it looks like to work together.

Building on the conversations started at the Afro Diaspora festival we are holding five more community conversations that will dig deeper into the question who makes up the Afro Diaspora community. These conversations are part of our efforts to unify our local community, by holding discussions about what often divides us.

All sessions will be held at The Community Brotherhood of LYNN
