WE SAY THEIR NAMES BUT, THEN WHAT? Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.~Frederick Douglass Amadou Diallo, February 1999 (New York City) –Eric Garner, July 2014 (New York) – unarmed; Michael Brown, August, 2014 (Ferguson ) – unarmed; Walter Scott, April 2015 (North Charleston) – unarmed; Philando Castile, July 2016 (Minneapolis) – unarmed; Breonna Taylor, March, 2020 (Louisville) – unarmed George Floyd, May, 2020 (Minneapolis) – unarmed; 39 UNARMED African Americans were killed by the police in 2016. By 2015, ZERO police officers had ever been convicted of murder or manslaughter. The killing of unarmed African Americans impact us all; but its impact on black men is particularly devastating. 34% of the unarmed people killed in 2016 were black males who only make up 6% of the US population. 1 in 1000 black boys and men will be killed by police in their lifetime. The rate for white men and boys is 39 out of 100,000. We say the names of those killed by police as we protest and mourn their deaths. But, we do not decide if a crime was committed. The individuals who make the decisions to charge and sentence police officers or who appoint those with that power are ELECTED OFFICIALS. Two recent Georgia Supreme Court decisions have limited the instances in which you will have the right to vote for state and local elected officials in future elections. This may be the LAST TIME you WILL EVER VOTE for those who hold those offices. Georgia is a state of 10 million people. 30% of its citizens are African American. But, in the last 17 years only two (2) African American male judges have been appointed to Superior Court. That is the trial court that hears cases involving police shootings and the court which sentences African Americans for felony matters-African American males make up only 16% of the population in Georgia, yet represent 58% of the Georgia prison population. We have the POWER to make change by simply tapping a screen and VOTING. Make #POWER concede to the DEMAND of the BALLOT. #VOTE.
