Say Her Name Campaign

On 20th May 2015, the African American Policy Forum, the Center for Insectionality and Social Policy Studies at Colombia Law School over twenty sponsoring organizations hosted #SayHerName: A Vigil in Memory of Black Women and Girls Killed by the Police. This was the first time family members of the women killed came together to uplift the stories of their loved ones. The family members of the following women attended Albert Spruill, Reika Boyd, Shantel Davis, Shelley Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carely, Michelle Cusseaux and Tanisha Anderson and hundreds of academics, activists and stakeholders.

The hashtag #SayHerName aims to raise awareness of significant number of black women killed by the police in America.
