Black women deserve better than anything the world has offered them up to this point and it's on the rest of us to make sure they get it.

Sonya Massey wasn't just a Black woman, she was also a paranoid schizophrenic and a mother and she, like so many other mentally ill Black moms, should still be alive.

Blackness and mental illness should not be the cause of death for anyone in 2024. She was a loving and attentive mom and just called the police to make sure her home where her family lives was safe from intruders, something white mothers do all the time. Its something even the children of mentally ill mothers do all the time via well checks.

Sonya Massey was killed for this, though. For asking for help while Black.

Safety and support are not guaranteed rights for everyone as much as the rest of us may like to pretend they are. Being able to call the cops if something goes wrong is a comforting thought that Black women aren't afforded without a literal life or death risk.

What do you do when "call the police" isn't an answer because it's them who threaten your life? What do you do when even if you don't call for help, defending yourself is just as dangerous because you're Black and will be assumed the aggressor anyway?

I've read a lot of Black feminist theory, especially lately, and maybe that's why this is hitting so hard.

But Black women have been saying and writing and protesting what they want for decades. Black revolutionaries have books available for free online as PDFs and on library apps.

And what I've learned is that police are an inherently racist structure built to oppress Black women and other marginalized people and to uphold property value over the value of human life (especially when that human is Black tho).

And there would be no better aid than to support restorative justice and abolitionism to make sure this never happens to another Black woman again.

Listen to me.

There is no amount of reform that will stop racists from enlisting with police because there is no definition of a racist that they could use that wouldnt also include elected officials. And therein lies the problem, the system protects itself systematically. There is no correction that could be made that wouldn't threaten people in power so the people in power don't allow systematically helpful corrections.

You would have to dismantle the entire thing top to bottom to reform anything worthwhile anyway.

The majority of us have not only Not been doing that but accusing anyone who advocates for top-to-bottom reform as being extreme.

Is it though? Is it extreme to want safety? To want to build it yourself from scraps after generations of harm? After generations of having that harm excused for the comfort of the same majority that's been ignoring you?

You don't need to know absolutely everything about abolitionism to start supporting it or the Black women who advocate for it (though learning basics would be a good start; Kimberlé Crenshaw & Angela Davis). Just trust that black feminists with decades of experience, police interaction, and activism know more than you and learn as you go.

You know what you absolutely do need to start doing though?

Listening to Black women

If we'd done it sooner maybe Sonya Massey would still be alive.

This is on us. And it's on us to fix it too.

💖 This is a signal boost for the Mikki Family! 💖

vetted by 90-ghost here

Folks, I'd like you to meet the Mikki family. Hadeel is a mother of two wonderful daughters, Mira and Nadia, and is she pregnant with her third child. She is married to Waseem, and they hope to evacuate Gaza along with her mother Tahani, and her two brothers.

Hadeel is terrified for the fate of her family. They have already suffered devastating losses, she can barely find enough food for her daughters, and she is understandably stressed and exhausted due to her pregnancy in such horrific circumstances.

Thus far they have raised €6,502 of their €35,000 goal to evacuate safely.

Can you help them meet their goal by making a donation?

A message from Hadeel:

Maybe this fundraising effort is like a beacon in the darkness, our sole source of hope that we hold onto tightly. I urge the world to listen to my plea and the sorrowful cries of my Gaza kin. We desperately require the helping hand that can dry our tears and lead us to safety.

This campaign has also been vouched for by the wonderful Alanqar family!

If you cannot donate at this time, you can help by reading and sharing their pinned post, following them at @hadeelmekki, and lifting up their voices whenever you can.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.
