Malik Williams
This case happened in Federal Way, Washington State, so this one is more personal to me.
Please read.
Today, I went to a rally at the Federal Way Police Department for Malik Williams.
Malik was a 23 year old paraplegic man who was shot at 84 times by the police.
He was sitting in the passengers side of a car and someone had called the cops on the driver of the car, a White Woman, for yelling.
Before the cops murdered Malik, they told the White Woman to “Run”.
Here’s the statement from the petition that you should sign
“Malik Williams was a 23-year-old Black paraplegic man, who was fatally shot by Federal Way, Washington police on Dec. 31, 2019 after officers fired shots at the car he was sitting in. According to KUOW, the Valley Independent Investigations Team released footage from the shooting, where 84 shell casings were found at the scene. Officers claim they were unaware that Williams was a paraplegic until after the shooting when they saw his wheelchair in the backseat of the car, which they said had tinted windows.Andre Taylor of Not This Time, added that the video footage that has been released and the footage Williams’ family saw last week were not the same. He says that the recently released footage has been edited. “The video shows no stress or anything going on that would have made an officer feel that he was in danger for 86 shots to be fired into that car,” Taylor said. Malik Williams’ family is asking for justice and awareness, and to stop unjustifiable police killings.”
The petition is at 4,366 so let’s get it to 5,000! I have 1,000 of you following me, so even if a fraction of you signed the petition, that would help.

Third in a series of comics about safe and conscientious protesting in a time of pandemic. Stay safe. Stay woke. Stay angry
To whoever this makes uncomfortable, I'm sorry but this isn't a fight between black vs white; this is good against evil.
This man, Mac Smiff, has put it out there crystal clear:
“We came out here dressed in t-shirts and twirling hula hoops and stuff, and they started gassing us. So we came back with respirators, and they started shooting us. We came back with vests, they started aiming for the head. So we started wearing helmets. And now they call us terrorists. Who is escalating this? It’s not us.”
If y’all are really about Black Lives Matter, support me. My name is Bella and I am a Black queer activist who has been doing social media protests for two months. They need more attention. These are some resources and information. Next Saturday I am hosting a social media protest to help Black people struggling with money for: HRT, top surgery, medical bills, food, rent, housing, and more.
Jacob Blake is more than just “A Black man shot 7 times” he is more than a statistic, more than a number, more than a victim of police brutality. He is a father of beautiful children and we need to have more empathy while speaking about this, his babies had to WITNESS THIS. Black trauma continues to be brushed under the rug and everybody continues to try to make us try to justify it. While I am grateful to hear he is okay, that doesn’t mean I’m not angry. Don’t stop demanding for justice! BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER! Protests have been happening for THREE MONTHS NOW. But there are plenty of victims of police brutality who don’t get to say they survived. I truly hope the officers involved get charged for attempted murder.
Please reblog this, this is a very important signal boost!
❗️TIME SENSITIVE❗️
Hello 👋🏽 I am a physically disabled black woman, an artist, and the sole caretaker of my autistic brother.
Last year, our home was sold from underneath us after our father passed away and my brother and I were left with almost nothing, and nowhere to go. We lost everything. And since, have been struggling every single day to survive and keep a roof over our heads.
We are fighting the system for assistance for my brother, but have been denied twice despite full proof of the extent of disability.
They Do Not Want Us To Live.
But we don't want to give up. We're raising funds for housing so that we can keep trying to survive together. Black Disabled Lives Matter. We should be allowed the same tools to live as everyone else. So we ask for your help.
Please help us, share our GoFundMe, share our story, donate if you can. Help us keep a roof over our heads so that we can KEEP TRYING.
Thank you 🙏🏽💜
