Jacksonville Community Action Committee

Jacksonville Community Action Committee Jacksonville Community Action Committee is a Black led, grassroots organization started to fight racist and state-sanctioned violence

05/22/2026

Like many across our community, I remain deeply concerned by the video and allegations surrounding the traffic stop involving Tiara Young. Allegations of excessive force, especially claims that a young woman was kneed in the eye during her arrest, deserve a full and transparent review. Jacksonville families deserve accountability, professionalism, and to feel safe during interactions with law enforcement.

The People demand a Mental Health Response Team!
JSO has proven its inability to safely de-escalate mental health crises. JCAC remembers Uncle Bert, Leah Baker, Justin Knight, Rashaud Martin and José Cabrera.
Abusers should not be called when someone needs mental health care ✊🏾

✊🏾 Public Comment at City Council at 5 p.m.

In the past month, JSO has brutalized three people and the city of Jacksonville recognizes the death of two residents, Charles Faggart and Leah Baker. While JSO receives over 50% of our city's budget their continued abuses go unchecked and encouraged by Sheriff T.K. Waters.

Join us at City Council to demand more told our tax dollars go to supporting our neighbors, instead of the violent and inept sheriff office.

Rest in Power Justin Knight 🤍🕊️

On Saturday, March 30 Justin Knight was arrested for allegedly trespassing in a neighbors yard. The reality was Justin was experiencing a mental health crisis.

After being booked into the county jail, he was shortly admitted to UF Health and immediately placed on life support. It took two days for JSO to notify Justin's family, who found him handcuffed to his hospital bed, horribly battered and bruised with multiple organ failures.

Justin passed away a week later on April 6. Still today, Justin's wife, children, family and friends still have questions about how Justin went from making his way home to brutalized in police custody.

The fight continues, Justin's family remembers, JCAC remembers.

It's Black Women's History Month!
The Jacksonville Community Action Committee understands that the struggle for Black liberation and self-determination is powerful because we understand how crucial our women leaders are.

From writers, to strategists, fundraisers, designers and artists, the social and political consciousness of women revolutionaries has fortified the struggle for us all.
May we continue to honor their legacy in our everyday practice ✊🏾
