Declined speedy
I've declined the speedy since there's enough out there to assert notability to pass speedy criteria. I'd just finished editing the article for her fellow activist Deray McKesson so I had some sources available. I think that I've found enough to where they should pass notability criteria as a whole.

Possible Improvements for the Article
I feel like the viewpoint of Johnetta Elzie as a black women's rights activist is underrepresented especially because many of the articles cited directly talk about her role as a women in the Black Lives Matter movement. Her (somewhat) activist ally DeRay Mckesson also has much more information about his background before being an activist. Finally for the awards section, it could be deleted completely and replaced with a separate "Honors" section below a picture of Johnetta. Searui (talk) 19:15, 11 October 2016 (UTC)Searui

Notability and additional sources
I'm going to remove the notability tag as the available sourcing abundantly meets GNG, but I thought I'd also list more sources available for expanding the entry (additionally, there's plenty more material in the sources already cited in the entry): Innisfree987 (talk) 20:04, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
