Fund For The Children of Eric Garner
Eric Garner was extrajudicially executed by the police, on camera, and Daniel Pantaleo was not indicted for his murder; another instance of State violence on Black bodies. And as each name surfaces, there are families left behind. Real people. Real lives devastated. Recently his wife Esaw spoke out about this, passionately and painfully.
His family has created a fundraiser for their survival. Please support them as they try to heal unbearable pain and continue their work for justice. On the site they mention:
This is a fund to support the children of Eric Garner: Shardineé, Erica, Emerald, Eric Jr., Emery and his grandkids: Alyssa, Rhiley, and Kaylee. This campaign is owned by his 3rd oldest child, Emerald Snipes. Your love, encouragement and support is appreciated.

There are many ways to support of course, as so many of us have been doing for the multitudes of victims of State violence, not only him (nor only Black men; Black women/children, Black LGBTQIA people are also victims of State violence). However, at the end of the day, money and tangible resources are needed too. Please support and/or BOOST.❤

Since my life has gone zero to a hundred real quick, I have to take care to consider how I started from the bottom. I mean, lord knows, sometimes it’s felt like it’s been all me, forever, when I’ve been up all night, buried alive, on my worst behavior. I don’t know if anyone expected me to come thru and own it, because I’ve been the furthest thing from successful. Sometimes I think I’m doing it wrong, that it’s just practice and I’m never gonna connect with headlines and buy that fancy tuscan leather, have the fireworks and cameras show me a good time. I want to be unforgettable, but I don’t want to be too much. I want them to miss me but not be over me. Mom always said “make me proud” and “find your love,” because she wants me to take care. Now she says “look what you’ve done” because the good ones go and what we think is the calm is just fear. I keep telling myself I just have to hold on, we’re going home and we’ll be fine. Hell ya fucking right, this year is going to be the best I ever had. I’m goin in. Wu-Tang Forever.
