Daniel Prude deserved to be treated with care during a mental health crisis. Instead, police officers murdered him in the street, and the grand jury has decided that none of them will face charges for his death. The justice system has failed Daniel Prude in life and in death. This horrific incident should never have …
We are appalled by the unjust and senseless murder of Casey Goodson Jr. by a police officer in Columbus, Ohio. As a Black man in America, Casey wasn’t even safe from police brutality in his own home, and his story is tragically similar to the countless known and unknown stories of Black people who have …

When will it stop? Rayshard Brooks, an American 27-year-old Black man, was shot and killed by an Atlanta Police Department officer on the evening of June 12, 2020. Mr. Brooks had fallen asleep in his vehicle at a Wendy’s drive-through. Despite the fact that tens of millions of people around the world have been marching …
