Please donate and share widely if you can to support LaTonya, Donovan Lewis’ girlfriend. Any amount helps. She is a mother and expecting another child on the way, and lost her job just a few days after Donovan was murdered by Columbus Police. She needs to secure housing, care for their children, and rebuild her life and home. This is an urgent community support request and we ask you all to pull up and do what you can to assist and support Donovan’s family in this time. Send funds to LaTonya’s cashapp at $SkyMommy0218

In 2004, CPD fired the pig who murdered Donovan Lewis and then gave him his job back. Officer Ricky Anderson was reinstated despite being the subject of 58 investigations during is 22 year-long career, 9 of which he was found to be acting “out of policy”. We are appalled but not surprised. So far, Ricky Anderson has faced zero consequences for shooting a young Black man dead within 1 second of opening his bedroom door. Ricky Anderson will continue to exercise the power of judge, jury, and executioner with impunity, whereas Donovan Lewis will never celebrate his 21st birthday. We demand the firing of Officer Ricky Anderson IMMEDIATELY.

Today marks six years since 13 year old Tyre King had his life stolen by Columbus Police officer Bryan Mason on September 14, 2016. Tyre loved playing sports, was in his schools young scholars program, and had big plans for his future. He was a beloved child who should still be here.

Happy Sex Worker Pride Day!! Today we celebrate the self determination and stories of sex workers, especially those who are Black and of marginalized genders whose work continues to be criminalized by the state. We affirm that sex work is real work and are working towards a future with full decriminalization of sex work !

If you haven't heard, Camp Shameless residents staying at 905 E Mound St are being relocated into a temporary housing program on the Far East Side. On September 8th, the City of Columbus and the community shelter board announced that all eligible residents of Camp Shameless will be moving into the program if they are willing. The City is calling this a transitional, low barrier, harm reduction housing pilot program.
