Black Lives Matter NewHaven

Black August was born in the shadows of the prison industrial complex, by brothers and sisters who refused to let caging their bodies kill their minds. They understood a truth that still rings loud today. Fascism doesn't wait for us to be ready. It feeds on our division, our complacency, and our silence.

Missing Child🚨

🚨 HELP BRING NAMIYAH AKA MIYAH HOME! 🚨

There is a pinned comment with the location where she was last seen. If you are in or near that area, please help by handing out flyers and spreading the word.

📍 Bridgeport Community, We Need You!
Please keep flyers in your cars.

Business owners, please place flyers on your doors or windows.

Food truck owners, please display flyers where customers can see them.

Braiders, barbers, nail technicians, and beauty professionals throughout Bridgeport, please post flyers in your shops so your clients can help keep an eye out.
Every flyer shared, every post reposted, and every conversation could be the one that helps bring this young lady home safely.

Let's come together as a community and help take some of the weight off Ritta's shoulders. No family should have to go through this alone.

❤️ Friend, I love you, and I am continuously praying for you and your daughter. We stand with you, and we will keep spreading the word until she is home.

🙏 Please share. Please post. Please stay alert.
