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.

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.

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.

😂 not y'all saying people over property yesterday and then being mad at some broken windows today. No, we didn't go to the protest for safety reasons, but we're also not losing sleep over some windows. They can pay for it with that increased police budget.

Last night TPD arrested and charged two known organizers, @DailyTacoma and our own @ohdamn_jam. So many people acted quickly, and we were able to make sure they both made bail.

Manuel Ellis was killed in Tacoma, WA on March 3rd 2020. Today Is July 27th. On June 2nd it was clear that this case was being both covered up and neglected. (A thread) The four officers who killed Manuel Ellis were placed on leave, and were allowed to return to work, even though an investigation hadn't been completed. They still haven't been fired.

We (neighbors in Tacoma) are working on creating 100 welcome care packages total, and at least 35 by the end of July.

The investigation is being conducted by WA State Patrol, but we still have questions. And demands. (A thread). Provisions of I940 were CLEARLY violated. What are the consequences for breaking this law?
