#Repost @sistafireri (@get_repost) ・・・ On Monday, January 7, 2019, Lashonda Hazard, age 27, unexpectedly passed away at Women and Infants Hospital along with her unborn child in Providence, Rhode Island. • • As a community, we should be concerned about this tragedy. Often times, the death of Black women are consistently overlooked. The media has become desensitized to this particular violence against Black women and women of color. It has become socially acceptable to see social media and news feeds of lives lost in Black communities, immigrant and refugee, queer + trans, and communities of color. • • We are seeking community support to sign-on to our Open Letter: We Believe Black Women in response to this tragedy. This should not be overlooked or dismissed. We are asking you to stand in solidarity with Black women, share this open letter with your network and the larger community. • • In support, we ask that you: ## 1. Donate to the unforeseen funeral expenses. ## 2. Sign-on to the Open Letter: We Believe Black Women as an individual, organization, and more. ## 3. Share the letter and the the social media images attached below. • • LINK IN BIO.

Signal boosting my girl @janie730 fundraising effort on this fine Friday! I hope it's a Payday for you! We have $1485 left to raise! . . "Good morning friends!! I am reaching out because I have an urgent request from a family of color that needs to secure $1700 to avoid homelessness. I created a pool through paypal to protect their identity. They have a sweet 8 year old little girl, they're very involved in their community, and unfortunately due to a medical emergency have been without income for a few months. I donated the first $100. I am hoping folks can donate something and share, and if you can't donate please share with your networks. Thank you, thank you!!!" .

Thank you to @lotusflowerbomb0912 for sharing this case with me: "Just a piece of Alexis's back story. "Although Ohio does acknowledge the horrors of human trafficking, the state has ultimately disregarded the grip human trafficking can have over a person's life. Alexis Martin grew up with drug addicted, abusive and absent parents. She was first sexually assaulted at the age of 9. Shortly after, Alexis was kidnapped and forced into prostitution by violent traffickers. Alexis told a juvenile court probation officer about the kidnapping but the officer did nothing to help her or identify her as a trafficking victim. At the age of 15, Alexis was convicted of murdering her trafficker, Angelo Kerney. Alexis was engaged in a sexual encounter with Kerney's brother when a rival trafficker arrived with plans to rob and shoot Kerney. After Alexis was arrested in connection with the robbery and murder, the juvenile court recognized that she was a victim of human trafficking. Under Ohio's Safe Harbor Law, Alexis should have received a guardian ad litem to recommend the most effective responses from the court, like addition treatment and mental health care. During that time, the court can put all charged on hold, place the juvenile in the appropriate treatments and when completed dismiss and expunge all records of the case. However, Alexis never received a guardian ad litem; she never even knew she was entitled to this type of advocacy. Instead Alexis' case was moved to adult court and she was convicted, at the age of 16, of the murder of her trafficker. The court sentenced her to 21 years to life in prison. In August of 2018 the Ohio Supreme Court ruled to uphold this unfair sentence. This Governor, John Kasich, has the ability to grant clemency for Alexis Martin prior to leaving office next week. Please join us in asking Gov John Kasich to grant clemency for Alexis. The rally will take place in Columbus. Ohio on January 12, 2019."

So this is happening. I'm disgusting. Not surprised but ill in the pit of my stomach disgusted. There are thousands of yt nationalists ready to pay out of pocket to fund hate and xenophobia. Reminds me of that saying that all it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing. #apathyforthewin #silenceisviolence #shameonyouGoFundme #nobordersnowalls #nodeportationonstolenland https://www.instagram.com/p/BrmGyzUgqwU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1neebowwkfibw
