Elijah Nicky Weatherspoon was an 18 year old man who died in South Carolina this June 26th. The young man went missing during a boating trip, and his body was later discovered on June 28th. The events that led to Elijah's death are unclear and treated by police as a person who drowned and that's it, but his family said that he could indeed swim. The investigation did not go further and his death is not reported by the news in any way.  The circumstances that has been told to the Weatherspoon family are confusing but there is still no investigation.  sign JUSTICE FOR ELIJAH here

Malik Thomas was 9 years old when he was BURNED ALIVE in Arizona, on May 22, 2006. Malik was murdered by the son of a white police officer and another classmate of his. They showered him with gasoline and set fire to the child and are still free after 14 years. The police had released very little information about the murder and after two weeks, they still said that ic could be an accident.  Another child, who was Mexican, said that he was also targeted for attack but ran before they could catch him. The officers said that he was playing and found a bottle of gasoline and proceeded to throw lit matches at it, which makes no sense, because even a kid would know not to play with fire. sign JUSTICE FOR MALIK here

The protests happening all around the world  but especially in the USA can become dangerous for your health very quickly, with the use of tear gas, rubber bullets and more. You can also get arrested and injured by (undercover) cops. Here are some tips for your safety! But first, if you are white, don't wear hawaiian shirts, that is what white supremacists are wearing to show violence during the protests. 1. Recognition of your face (the recognition system relies a lot on bone structure on the face) -Wear a mask! -You can pat the part of the mask where your nose and chin are so it looks like it's a different shape -You can wear dark-tinted sunglasses covering you brow bone -You can wear a big hat covering your hair and  forehead -Cover piercings and tattoos -Try using only one color of clothing and no patterns -Face paint is also useful - If you're feeling bold, you can shave your eyebrows! 2. Rubber bullets (Police say it's not dangerous, but retired cops are saying tha...

Willie Simmons has been in prison for the past 38 years serving a life sentence  with no parole for a nine dollar robbery   in Alabama. At 25 years old, he was charged of first degree robbery. He is 62 years old now.  He hasn't had a visitor since 2005, after his sister died. He was on drugs as a teenager, and later dropped out of it. He has been sober in prison for the last 18 years. His trial lasted 25 minutes and he called no witnesses. After an interview last year, he said: " It was all stupid. I messed up ." He was arrested for wresteling a guy and stealing his wallet, which contained 9$. He has filed many appeals but they were all denied. In my opinion, this man does not deserve to die in prison. sign SHORTEN WILLIE'S SENTENCE here

Darrien Hunt, a 22 year old man, was killed by police in Saratoga Springs, Utah, in 2014. Darrien was cosplaying (in costume) as a Japanese samurai and carrying a small fake sword. The sword was FAKE and secured even though it could not cause any harm. An employee from a small store called the cops on him, and the officers immediatly chased him. They shot him in front of an asian restaurant, the Panda Express, six times. The police took the officers' side of the story to tell the media, which contradicted a lot with the witnesses' stories. The officers have not faced any charges and we are now asking to reopen his case and investigate properly. sign REOPEN DARRIEN'S CASE here

Matthew Tucker's murder wasn't filmed. He was an 18 year old killed by police on May 4th, 2016. He didn't get a hashtag, his story wasn't told. His brother, Micheal Shawn Tucker, who is a journalist, tells the story to the Washington Post: Matthew was struggling in life, and had recently broken up with his girlfriend. He called the police, afraid by his own suicidal thoughts. Officers arrived at their home, and the whole family welcomed them. Nones of the officers talked to Matthew's mother to understand better the situation. They didn't call for backup, and they didn't secure the scene. They simply followed the mother to the garage, where they saw Matthew, holding a knife, sad and sobbing, close to commiting. They ordrered Tucker to drop the knife, which he didn't do. Instead of calling for crisis intervention, instead of listening to the cries of his mother begging for them not to shoot her son, they pulled out their guns and shot multiple times. Miche...

Rayshard Brooks, a 27 year old black man was killed by police on June 12th 2020. He was sleeping in his own car at a Wendy's parking lot when police asked him to move his car. Rayshard was too drunk to drive as he said the police, and so asked if he could walk to his sister's house, that was a short distance away. One of the officer's body camera shows that he was friendly, cooperative and calm. Officer Rolfe then handcuffed him, and Rayshard, confused and drunk, tried to break free while the officers were scuffling him to the ground. He managed to run away. Rolfe, after some time, drew his handgun and shot three times: once in his mid-back, once the lower back and once to a close vehicule almost shooting three passengers. After shooting Brooks, rolfe said: "I got him". They kicked him and the other officer, Brosnan, stood on his shoulders. Seven  minutes after Rayshard was shot, an abulance arrived and took him to a hospital. He died following surgery. Both offic...

Kayla Moore was a black transgender woman with schizophrenia murdered by the police department of Berkeley in 2013. The officers made transphobic remarks and called her "it". Her roomate called 911 because Kayla was experiencing mental health crisis and needed medical help. A warrant for someone with the same name as her was found, but even if the person was 20 years older than she was, they still restrained her. When the officers arrived, they handcuffed her and she was placed under arrest. Then, they wrestled her to the ground using full body weight until she stopped breathing. In 2014, her father filed a wrongful death lawsuit, that was dismissed in 2018, because they "didn't have enough evidence to show that she was discriminated against". More details are in the petition. sign JUSTICE FOR KAYLA here

She is the eight transgender person killed in that week . sign JUSTICE FOR BRAYLA here
