Lest We Forget

July 17th, 2015 marks the one-year anniversary of Eric Garner’s death after an NYPD chokehold. As of now, not a single person has been held responsible. On Saturday, July 18th, join the NYCLU and other civil rights groups to demand accountability and justice for Eric Garner’s family and all the other New Yorkers who have suffered from police abuse.

Breathless

"Get away [garbled] for what? Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today. Why would you...? Everyone standing here will tell you I didn't do nothing. I did not sell nothing. Because everytime you see me, you want to harass me. You want to stop me [garbled]. Selling cigarettes. I'm minding my business, officer, I'm minding my business. Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time, please just leave me alone. Please please, don't touch me. Do not touch me. [garbled] I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe..." -Eric Garner's final words

It Stops Today!

Eric "Big E" Garner

Rest In Peace
