This mural memorializes Sandra Bland, who died while in police custody 8 years ago today (July 13, 2015). Thinking of her mother and sister, who continue their fight for #JusticeForSandraBland
Reposted from @naacp_ldf Today marks [eight] years since Sandra Bland’s death. Sandra Bland was a 28-year-old civil rights activist who was taken into custody by former Texas Trooper Brian Encinia for an alleged traffic violation. The encounter escalated when the Trooper tried to yank Sandra Bland out of her vehicle for smoking a cigarette and pointed a stun gun in her face threatening to “light her up.” Encinia had initially claimed that Bland assaulted him. He was ultimately charged with perjury since his own dash cam proved that to be untrue. Three days after the arrest, Sandra Bland was found hanging in a Waller County Jail cell. The officers who falsified monitoring logs and claimed they checked in on Bland an hour before she was found hanging were quietly moved to other law enforcement roles. What exactly happened to Sandra Bland still largely remains a mystery and no one has been held accountable for her death.
On July 13, 2015, #SandraBland died in police custody after being pulled over for a minor traffic stop in Prairie View, TX 3 days prior.
Sandra Bland was FULL of life and joy; she also was known as an outspoken critic of the violence of policing and used her #SandySpeaks online presence to spread her message widely.
We will forever be in solidarity with the entire Bland family as they continue to fight for #JusticeForSandraBland

Reminder: Double down on the things that work. Make a commitment to keep fine-tuning the skills integral to those "things." Find technology that will help your "double down" efforts and increase results, while also saving you time, money and energy. - Also, focus on ways to make more money passively (i.e. without or with less of your direct involvement). Everything you're doing right now should be geared towards this end goal. - Remember, the path towards true economic freedom, and real social change is paved with flush and steady income streams. - While we tend to associate more money with more luxurious living (which is fine btw), thats not the whole story. Money also plays an integral role in liberating others from suffering. Philanthropy and activism always need funding, so if you're righteously focused, you, too, need to get in your bag. - Be a WÜLF about your dream. - #MULFMAB #MYUBERLIFE #leadership #entrepreneurship #business #finance #diversity #equality #culture #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforahmaud #justiceforBreonna #justiceforsandrabland #georgefloyd #ahmaudarbery #sandrabland #breonnataylor #racism #theconstitution #liberty #freedomordeath #donttreadonme #blacklivesmatter #votewithyourdollars #civicduty #fuckracism #antiracist #Beawolfaboutyourdream #WULF https://www.instagram.com/p/CUOBdaLrRVi/?utm_medium=tumblr
