Friends,

I thought I'd be able to handle this alone as our culture ingrains in us that we must figure our way through battles alone, but I need to ask for help since things have become unmanageable. For safety and security reasons, forgive me but I have to be vague. 

I was brutalized and had my civil rights violated at a protest against the unjust system that cheated Breonna Taylor back in 2020, as result, I have been unable to return to employment for more than half a year now. LASD is holding onto my charges and retaliating against me for speaking out against them and their gang-filled department.

In the U.S. various activists still face retaliation from the system due to charges for protesting against police violence in their communities, they do this intentionally to silence and cripple you. 

I owe back rent,  and medical bills from when I was brutalized by LASD with a riot shield; the bill collectors from private student loans and other living expenses keep calling. 
The legal battle is mentally crippling, I made this GoFundMe to help relieve financial stress while all of this is resolved. I hope to be able to speak up more about this soon.

To my community and comrades, thank you for always having my back.
We keep us safe.
