ONLINE CALL TO ACTION

Call the DOJ at 212-637-2200 to ask that they investigate the NYPD killing of Mohamed Bah

5 years ago NYPD responded to Hawa Bah's call for help with her son who was having a mental health crisis. They arrived and killed him. He was no threat to a single officer, only to himself. His mother deserves answers. His killers deserve their day in court.

The number to call is: 212-637-2200

Here’s a sample script you can use: “Hello. I am calling to tell U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to launch a full investigation into the NYPD killing of Mohamed Bah and fully prosecute all officers responsible. I also ask that Mr. Bharara meet with Mohamed’s mother, which she has been requesting for a month.”

So there is this web series, Africa In The City. It's about Africans living outside of Africa. You should watch it because...

You'll see unique stories about Africans and the things they deal with in America and beyond.

Tracy interviewed one African mother who is from Guinea. Her son was killed by cops in 2012. It's so sad to see her break down and cry.

She came to NYC for her son's birthday in 2012. His family could tell something was wrong with him. He was talking strange. One would say he was having mental issues but it's not certain and no one will ever know.

His mom called the ambulance by dialing 911. The cops came. Instead of helping him, he died. The cops say he launched at them with a knife.

Mohamed Bah was 28.

His mother Hawa and Brother Souleyman helped Tracy tell how it happened.
