Thank you to the Rankin Christian Center for having us at their community Juneteenth celebration. We truly enjoyed the event.

They unveiled a mural honoring some of their local ancestors and leaders.

Say their names.

Tammy McCollum. Cerina Fairfax. Nancy Metayer Bowen.

Black women whose homes should have been safe, yet whose lives were ended by the men closest to them.

This isn't new. It's been happening since the beginning of this country. What's different now is that it's being recorded, reported, finally seen. Say Their Names was never meant to be a hashtag for everybody to borrow — it was built for Black women, to make sure their names don't disappear into statistics.

So we say them. Out loud. On purpose.

Rest in power.

This win shows the power of the people. It's vital for people to speak, especially at council or any city government meetings. Thanks for all your support in our lawsuit we pushed for with the community.

Shoutout to Courtney Thompkins and other community plaintiffs in the lawsuit. This settlement could set a precedent for other communities seeking accountability.
