New York City: People´s Monday for Loreal Tsingine
Monday, October 9 - 7:00 to 10:00 pm
Gather at American Museum of Natural History, 200 Central Park W, Manhattan
This #PeoplesMonday we highlight the continuing tragedy of indigenous genocide in the Americas, whose beginning is marked by the voyages of mass murderer and enslaver Christopher Columbus, by telling the story of Loreal Tsingine. A 27 year old Navajo woman and mother of an 8 year old daughter who was murdered by Winslow Poice Officer Austin Shipley.
Officer Shipley, who was investigating the theft of a six pack of beer, slammed Loreal to the ground and shot her five times, killing her. He then prevented a bystander from performing CPR on Loreal before medics arrived. In his 2 and a half year career, Oficer Shipley had held a suspect at gunpoint 5 times, deployed his taser 4 times including onece at a 15 year old girl, and once on a man restrained in a gurney. He had received 30 violations including tampering with evidence and falsifying reports and was on 6 months probabtion at the time he murdered Loreal.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery still declined to bring charges against Officer Shipley and to date no Officer has been charged with any crime in the murder of Loreal Tsingen.
Join us as we march in solidarity with our Native sisters and brothers against white supremacy and for justice for Loreal.
We will be starting at the Natural History museum where Decolonize This Place will be hosting their second annual Anti-Columbus Day tour:
