    Our dear sister Erica Garner has just passed away. When you were her friend, you her friend through all adversity. She was a fierce protector of her friends and family. A truth teller. As genuine and authentic of a soul you’ll ever encounter. We’re less because of this loss.

        Erica ignored respectability politics better than anybody I've ever met. She spoke truth to power directly to Obama & De Blasio's face. She NEVER cared who or what was popular or acceptable. She never measured her words for retweets or PR. She lived her truth every single day

        I'm hurt for Erica because I know that she wanted to live. She wanted to raise her babies. She wanted to experience more of the world. She wanted to travel & speak more about injustice in America. And she deeply wanted justice for her father. Shame on this city for denying it.

        I love you all. 1. I will keep you posted on how we can help Erica's babies. 2. I will let you know if her funeral is public. 3. I will let you know how we can best fight for justice to continue what she started.

        She fought so hard to make American policing better, more accountable. Forever grateful to her. I can’t imagine her father’s joy at seeing her again today. May they both rest in eternal peace and power. God bless the Garner/Snipes family.😪

        How does a 27 year old suffer a heart attack? How does the daughter of a victim of systemic oppression and police brutality fight for 3 years to then succumb to something that should never affect young people? I'm filled with questions and sorrow for her passing... #Erica #Eric

        I am deeply impacted by the unimaginable injustice and cruelty to her father, and the unendurable impact on her that life his death, and the manner of it, incurred. I will not forget her.
