For over 5 years the Bayoh family have fought for justice following #ShekuBayoh death in police custody, they want a #BlackLivesMatter protest more than most- but even though Sunday is 5th anniversary of Sheku’s funeral they don’t want you to risk lives #COVID19 thread 👇🏽
My name is Kadi, I am also a staff nurse “In as much as my family would like to be part of the demonstrations taking place on Sunday for #BlackLivesMatter, I believe that danger of the spread of Coronavirus is still too great...
As a staff nurse I know the deadly impact of the virus and I would worry about social distancing on the day and the lives of my family and other lives being put at risk.
Sadly we cannot attend, nor will we encourage others to go because we believe a virtual protest would be far more effective and involve those unable to attend because of the risk.
I hope that you will join our campaign, we have fought for 5 years for justice for my dead brother #ShekuBayoh & believe #BlackLivesMatter but these are struggles which must happen well after Sunday - thank you for all your support crowdjustice.com/case/justicefo…
