Out of respect for Tony Robinson’s family, Young Gifted and Black will not hold an action tomorrow after District Attorney Ismael Ozanne makes his announcement regarding whether officer Matt Kinney will be charged with the death of 19-year-old black teenager Tony Robinson. We call community members to use Tuesday to remember Tony and reflect on the complex ways state violence impacts Black lives.
We will resume our actions on Black Out Wednesday, the first day of action in Black Spring, a national movement for Black Liberation. Black Spring recognizes the death of Tony as connected to the killings of Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Rekia Boyd, Mya Hall, Tamir Rice, and Aiyana Jones.
Via YGB: Reflect on Tuesday, Walk Out on Black Out Wednesday @ Forward Lookout.
