2017 FELLOWSHIP FOR PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT MANIFESTO
The brutal killing of #GEORGEFLOYD by the #MINNEAPOLISPOLICE in the US, drew the attention of the world once again to #SYSTEMICRACISM and white supremacy. Unfortunately, #POLICEBRUTALITY and other #HUMANRIGHTSVIOLATIONS against BLACK PEOPLE are a daily routine in various parts of the globe. These are not isolated cases. In fact, #RACISM systematically criminalizes us, dehumanizes us, and deepens inequalities towards BLACK POPULATION worldwide. Historically, black movements an
ALL FOUR EX-OFFICERS CHARGED IN GEORGE FLOYD CASE
We celebrate the fact that all four fired #MinneapolisPolice officers involved in #GeorgeFloyd’s death now face criminal charges, and all are in custody. According to court records, #TouThao, #ThomasLane and #JAlexanderKueng all face aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder, as well as aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.

ASESINATO DE JOVEN AFROCOLOMBIANO A MANOS DE LA POLICÍA
El #RACISMOESTRUCTURAL es universal. Apenas nos enteramos de un aberrante crimen ocurrido en #TEJADA, departamento del #CAUCA #COLOMBIA, que ocurrió el pasado 21 de #MAYO.

We strongly condemn the coward assassination of #StLouisPolice captain #DavidDorn by opportunist criminals posing as protesters, last week, as he was safeguarding a pawn shop. We deplore any crime-apology narrative that justifies murder, looting and theft as part of a #StruggleAgainstRacism.

PROTESTERS BEAT FEMALE SHOP OWNER AS HER HUSBAND TRIES TO DEFEND HER IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
This is not #PROTEST. These are #CRIMINALS cowardly attacking an innocent man and his wife, trying to defend their business in #ROCHESTER #NEWYORK. Whoever shrugs this off as meaningless, stands for anything but #JUSTICE and #HUMANRIGHTS. Call out these cowards, disguised as #PROTESTERS, for they're part of the problem; not the solution. Identify them so they can be put in prison where they belong. These criminals DO NOT REPRESENT the victims #GEORGEFLOYD #ERICGARNER #TAMIRRI
