So, I want to make sure I name:
Whether or not it was a suicide or homicide - The state of Oklahoma absolutely is responsible for the death of Nex Benedict. From Ryan Walters, to school officials, to members of the Oklahoma Legislature.

We failed Nex and continue to fail students like Nex when these leaders* remain in power. We also know that isolation is a tool of oppression. That is what they are continuously trying to do: isolate us, drive us out of the state, or throw a stone and wait for our deaths.
Tomorrow at 1:30pm there will be a march at the Oklahoma Capitol. I hope to see you there. Often in deep times of despair like this better understand the need for more community. Especially at this time & this place. For more information reach out to Rural Oklahoma Pride. 
This weekend Anthony, MJ, & loaded up to go to the park.
We found this mural that reads: RlP Nex - it's in district 88 too
We drove around the block, parked, & spent a little time there.
Thankful for this space with you.
