He was only 27.

Edward Crawford, the man featured in the iconic Ferguson protest photograph throwing a tear gas canister, was found dead overnight, his father said. Police say it appears the death was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

He has become the symbol of fighting for justice for so many people and now we lost him. RIP.

Unarmed 15-year-old boy shot in the head by Balch Springs police officer.

15-year-old Jordan Edwards and his friends were leaving a party at approximately 11PM on Saturday after hearing gunshots. A police officer, whose name has not been released yet, shot through the passenger side window of the vehicle, in which Edwards and his friends were traveling, and struck the boy in the head. The officers were reportedly responding to a call of drunk teenagers. The Edwards family’s legal counsel S. Lee Merritt says 

Edwards and his friends were NOT the intoxicated teens that police officers were allegedly called to control.

The police officer who shot Edwards was placed on paid leave.

Police claim the vehicle Edwards was in backed toward officers “in an aggressive manner.”

I want to know a world where trans women aren’t murdered for the simple act of existing. I want to know a world where Black and Indigenous trans women can thrive, not simply survive.
