#LatrellAllen fortunately survived being shot in the back by CPD & like #JacobBlake he was handcuffed to his bed in the hospital while getting treatment for his injuries. They criminalized him & sent him straight to jail!

#MiguelVega’s family says that he was running away from the gunfire when he got killed by CPD! He won’t be able to share his story & like Latrell he has also been criminalized by CPD & the media! Please donate what you can.

Hello and welcome back to #Fuck12Friday! It has been a HECTIC week with the shooting of #LatrellAllen, so we're going to be taking a step back and do some history on #BlackAugust and the Black radical tradition. Follow along!
#BlackAugust is now a 41-year-old tradition, started in 1979 by Black people incarcerated in California. These folks wanted to begin a movement that honored the radical history of prison protest #Fuck12Friday
Why August? George Jackson, Black Panther and co-founder of the Black Guerilla Family. Jackson was incarcerated at age 18 and radicalized in prison. On August 21, 1971, Guards murdered Jackson at age 29 in a prison escape #BlackAugust #Fuck12Friday
