Law enforcement officials claim that even after the 23-year-old fell from the first volley of gunfire, he appeared to be trying to "manipulate" a black bag he was wearing, prompting even more gunfire. https://ktla.com/news/california/san-bernardino-deputies-excessive-force-lawsuit/

A federal judge awarded Boston saxophonist Charles Murrell III roughly $2.75 million after members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front assaulted him during a 2022 march.

Murrell was walking to the Boston Public Library to perform when members of the group, more than 100 of whom were marching through the city masked and carrying shields, attacked him.

According to his lawsuit, they knocked him down with metal shields, kicked and beat him until he lost consciousness, and shouted racist slurs during the assault.

Murrell testified that as his vision began going black, he feared they were going to kill him.

No one was arrested.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani wrote that the attackers later showed “no remorse” and instead “glorified the attack” by posting video of Murrell being pinned against a light pole and shoved toward a busy road.

Murrell said damage to his hands now causes them to lock up after playing saxophone for several hours, affecting both his livelihood and one of the central parts of his life.

The court awarded him $25,000 for physical injuries, $500,000 for psychological distress and $230,000 for lost wages and employment opportunities. Then came another $2 million in punitive damages.

Patriot Front and its leader, Thomas Rousseau, never responded to the lawsuit or appeared in court, resulting in a default judgment.

A Black musician was beaten unconscious in broad daylight by masked white supremacists. Nobody was arrested. It took a civil lawsuit to produce anything resembling accountability.

Menstrual health is a human right — yet millions of women and girls across Africa still lack access to safe, affordable, and dignified menstrual products. This gap forces many to resort to unsafe materials, which can lead to infections, shame, missed school days, and loss of income.

The Ubuntu Pad Project is a multi-country initiative serving communities in Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, and Uganda. Together with local partners, we’re addressing menstrual poverty through a twofold approach:

Sustainable Reusable Kits – Empowering women to produce and distribute high-quality reusable pads that last up to five years. These reduce waste, save money, and ensure girls can stay in school and women can participate fully in community life. They also create local jobs and training opportunities, building long-term sustainability.

Emergency Disposable Pads – In refugee settlements and areas of extreme poverty, we provide safe, disposable pads as a stop-gap solution. This ensures women and girls in urgent need don’t suffer today while we build toward a sustainable tomorrow.

Your support helps us:
✨ Train women in pad-making and business skills
✨ Distribute reusable kits and disposable pads to the most vulnerable
✨ Restore dignity and health to women and girls
✨ Break the cycle of menstrual poverty across multiple nations

This is more than pads — it’s about education, dignity, and opportunity. It’s about Ubuntu: “I Am Because We Are.”
When one girl stays in school, when one woman gains her dignity back, when one mother learns to provide — the whole community rises.
Join us in uplifting women and girls. Every donation brings us closer to a world where menstrual health is no longer a barrier, but a bridge to empowerment.
