1/At a time when we are supposed 2 be sheltering in place amidst a global pandemic, the deaths of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, D’Andre Campbell, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery remind us that, even in lock down, across Turtle Island, the war against Black ppl rages on
2/ Regis Korchinski-Paquet was 29 years old; and like many of us, she needed support. Instead she was killed by the police. She leaves behind a grieving family — a grieving community. We extend our deepest love and condolences to the family, loved ones, and friends of Regis.
3/We are rageful, sorrowful, and exhausted. Regis Korchinski-Paquet deserved better! Her family deserves justice! We are at a crossroads — a familiar place; year aft year, hashtag after hashtag, chant after chant, names and names; videos of Black souls dehumanized for all 2 see;
4/ again and again. We are not satisfied with the lip service of more police training, better mental health training for police officers, and other reforms that do nothing more than put more money towards law enforcement agencies.
5/As we are imagining a ‘new normal’, now is the time to radically dream and fight for a world that supports our living. We demand an end to the terrorization of Black peoples’ lives and communities. We demand an end to mental health crises met with brutality and death.
6/We demand that public money be used to enrich and support Black lives instead of ending them. Say her Name: Regis Korchinski-Paquet! The Family of Regis has set up a gofundme https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-regis …. Please help however you can!
7/In the context of a pandemic, we recognize that many of our disabled, chronically ill, and immono-compromised community members are not able to attend in-person demonstrations.
8/We believe the possibilities for action are limitless, so we encourage communities to come together in all ways for support and care.
Black family, take care of each other, take care of yourselves.
Until we are free,
BLMTO

Your important #BLM message is going to lose credibility if it turns out Regis' God-fearing mother believes suicide is a sin and will say anything to escape the idea she might have of her daughter in hell.
The SIU has not yet finished their investigation. Do better.
