As a co-founder of Tacoma Action Collective, Jamika is a community organizer. Not a career politician. Last year we watched elected and appointed city officials fail the family of Manuel Ellis and the community at large.
As a collective and as a community WE stood with the family and WE got results. Although Manny should still be here, the independent investigation and the charging of officers are a small step towards justice.
Last year we decided it was important for us to get involved in political education as a way to empower and inform our community on the issues and people on our ballots.
We know that Jamika running for mayor is not going to magically change this system overnight, and not even in 4 years. We do know that her values and track record of getting things done for the people will help our community.
We know that we are in dire need of someone who won't be afraid to speak up for US.
Join us tonight in kicking off her campaign, everyone is welcome. RSVP to info[at]jamikaformayor[dot]com

So let's talk about how the city isn't taking "tangible steps" and instead perpetuating the same cycles of violence, and using our money to do so.
It's kind of hard to figure out where to start, but let's start here, and we'll go back and clarify things later if necessary.

So last week, 3 of the 6 officers who killed Manuel Ellis were charged. But they were quickly bailed out.
We found out it was the owner of Integrity Construction Group who put up his own personal money to bail all 3 of them out.

Tavon was served with a search warrant for his phone, after 8pm on a weekday... (Screenshots of his post below). ImageImage
We're assuming that IF they charge Khahn Phan, it'll be with assault in the second degree.
Also wondering why they served him with a search warrant when there's plenty of video of the incident online....

So, we did an action today...(thread)
We drove slow through the waterfront in a processional, because DEATH TO WHITE SUPREMACY.
Then we drove to the city-county building, honking. These guys ran out. Officers also ran out from the jail.
