#ChikesiaClemons was assaulted & violated by the Saraland Police on April 28 in an Alabama @WaffleHouse. She was then arrested and charged for her own assault. Today, Saraland Municipal Court Judge Mark Erwin found her guilty on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
We are dismayed, but not surprised, by yet another verdict that shows just how little Black lives and Black dignity matter in the United States. We are outraged at the consistent state-sanctioned abuse of Black women in this country.
From police abuse to reproductive injustice, acts of state violence continue to deny Black women the right to bodily autonomy, respect, and dignity.
Black women matter. We will keep striving to build a world where Black women are free and safe. Anything less is unacceptable.
#ChikesiaClemons was convicted for her own assault, punished for surviving police violence. We come together as women to demand @WaffleHouse apologize to her and pressure the court to vacate her conviction.
