Hi, my name is Stephen, and I’m reaching out to share a serious experience I recently went through. I was subjected to excessive force by police officers, resulting in physical harm, and I believe charges were unjustly brought against me to justify the situation. I’m speaking out not just for myself, but to raise awareness about how often incidents like this may happen, especially to Black individuals who may not have the support, visibility, or evidence to defend themselves. I’m hoping to bring attention to this issue and encourage accountability and meaningful conversation within the community.

The aftermath of this incident has left me facing significant legal fees and medical bills. Your support will help me cover these urgent expenses and allow me to focus on seeking justice and healing. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference in my ability to move forward and stand up for what’s right.

It’s very important for us to stand up against injustice—because if we allow it, it becomes normalized, and that’s unhealthy for any community. In order for us to grow and move forward, we have to confront and stop police brutality and the abuse of power. I’m hoping to bring attention to this issue and encourage accountability and meaningful conversation within the community. Thank you for reading my story and for any support you can offer.
