The murder of Palestinian children and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities is being supported by the US. Americans' taxes are funding these atrocities.

Please include Palestinians in your activism 🇵🇸❤️

Our hearts go out to Saeed Odeh's family, to the residents of Sheikh Jarrah & Silwan resisting ethnic cleansing, and to every Palestinian in exile waiting to return to their homeland 🇵🇸❤️🕊

Her father writes:

”My daughters been fighting for her life since she was struck by a car while playing in our front yard with her brother. A speeding car in our neighborhood apparently lost control and ran onto our lawn, striking my baby before she, her, brother nor I had a chance to react. Shes been fighting over 2 weeks and her prognosis isn’t positive. She still has not yet regained full consciousness. We are asking anyone who can help us to please do so. The expenses are astronomical and we have a $2500.00 deductible to satisfy before our health insurance even begins to cover their portion. This unforeseen tragedy has affected us greatly. As a single father of an 11 y/o son and 5 y/o daughter I am doing all I know to do to help my baby get the treatment she needs. i have not been able to find their mother to inform her and ask her assistance as she cut off contact when i was awarded custody of our babies. Billing statements have already started to flood my mailbox and between those and the time I’ve missed at work to be by her side, our family us in crisis. I don’t know where else to turn. Please help if you can and pray my baby will beat the odds and make a recovery. Every little bit counts. Thank you.”

True words.

A rally in loving memory of Aiyana Jones, a girl shot by the cop while she slept on a couch during a botched raid.

Aiyana Jones is another black baby murdered at the hands of the Detroit police. 

May 16 will mark the sixth anniversary of the brutal slaying of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones by Detroit Police Officer Joe Weekley. She was shot by the cop while she slept on a couch during a botched raid. The killer is still employed by the Detroit Police Department. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter and two lesser charges in her death, but the case was dropped in January 2015.

Justice hasn’t been served for Aiyana and her grieving family.

We’re planning a peaceful rally in front of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on May 21 to honor the memory of Aiyana and other victims of police violence and demand demilitarization of police. 

We need to drag attention of the Media and the authorities so that we could bring peace to our community and to the families of innocent people killed by police. Police officers must be held accountable for their actions. This rally might be the one that will change something in this rotten system.
