Alexa Carrasco Struck at No Kings Protest in Riverside, CA

This past Saturday, June 14, my friend Alexa Carrasco, 21, was peacefully protesting with me at the No Kings protest in Riverside, California, standing up for a cause she deeply believed in. A car violently rammed through the crowd, and Alexa was tragically run over.

She was rushed to the hospital and is currently in critical condition in the ICU with life-threatening injuries. She is scheduled to undergo surgery later today, and while we have limited information from doctors at the moment, we know her recovery will be long and incredibly difficult.

Alexa is loving, outgoing, and full of life. She’s the kind of person who always shows up for others, and she was so proud to be out there using her voice. She did not deserve what happened to her.

I’ve created this GoFundMe to support Alexa and her family during this incredibly difficult time.

El pasado sábado 14 de junio, mi amiga Alexa Carrasco, de 21 años, protestaba pacíficamente conmigo en la protesta "No Kings" en Riverside, California, defendiendo una causa en la que creía profundamente. Un coche embistió violentamente a la multitud y Alexa fue trágicamente atropellada.

Fue trasladada de urgencia al hospital y actualmente se encuentra en estado crítico en la UCI (unidad de cuidados intensivos) con lesiones que ponen en peligro su vida. Está programada una cirugía hoy mismo, y aunque por el momento disponemos de poca información médica, sabemos que su recuperación será larga y extremadamente difícil.

Alexa es cariñosa, extrovertida y llena de vida. Es de esas personas que siempre están ahí para los demás, y estaba muy orgullosa de estar ahí alzando su voz. No se merecía lo que le pasó.
