There’s a reason the city is trying to destroy me after I’ve fought so hard to create an office dedicated to providing direct support to victims of police violence. Part of that is the level of police brutality we are all witnessing at college campuses across the US.
People are starting to treat me in such a degrading manner since I’ve said I need help after continuing to not be paid for 3 months by the city and am now at risk of losing my home.
I was here and I mattered.
The city has said that there is a chance (not guarantee)that they are going to back pay me for the 3 months they refused to pay me for the services I already provided. But are also suggesting that there is a chance I may get charged thousands to receive the salary they owe me.

As I pleaded for these orgs who talk about police violence re their bottom lines to support the fight for direct resources to victims like myself, the city refused to pay me for services I already provided & put me at the brink of homelessness, severely impacting my mental health
Washington State Patrol hit and killed two people last night responding to an emergency. Sending my condolences to the family. Their names have yet to be released, but I will post an update and any support requests once that’s released.

Victims of police violence and their families have no voice in Seattle beyond tokenization. And all this commentary about the budget that completely ignores the fact that the city has obstructed resources to us a second time only further proves that. We are mere tools.

Official blocking, gaslighting, and contradictory instructions to shut down advocacy for victims of police violence. Please take action to reduce this harm, @SeattleCouncil
The Seattle police department murdered my brother and now the city is trying to destroy me.
The City appears pretty uninterested in truly studying how it could build an APP for people killed and hurt by cops. Background: tinyurl.com/2rd77jkb
Victims of police violence and their families have no voice in Seattle beyond tokenization. And all this commentary about the budget that completely ignores the fact that the city has obstructed resources to us a second time only further proves that. We are mere tools.
@justice_forbert @loulivia138 They should pay those fees, not you. If this is just a mistake, it is due to lack of information and attention to detail by city officials/employees. A tiny amount for the city and within a budget item that will not be spent.
Castill Hightower whose brother Herbert was brutally murdered by local police, has worked tirelessly to change the environment in Seattle around how victims of police are treated People need to stop scrolling past her fucking posts and at the very least ACTUALLY read & share
The Affected Persons Program Workgroup, created to offer direct resources to victims of police violence, has officially been blocked a second time by the city of Seattle while simultaneously rolling back accountability measures and increasing officer pay. 🧵
Immensely frustrating.

@justice_forbert I think watching how quickly people gave up on Manny & Jaahnavi was very telling of the current mentality. It’s almost worth the time to start buying billboards and posting facts about dirty cops. There has to be a way to share info & force the public to see what’s happening.
@justice_forbert That’s the scariest part about this. You and many other victims have been screaming about this for ages and peoples interest only piques after it’s borderline too late. Something has GOT to give and it needs to happen soon or we will never be able to dig our way back out.
@justice_forbert This is unfortunately so true Even when I tried to help Roger get his story out I had to DM and beg dozens of people to share and most ignored it. The vast majority were people he asked me to ask share his story and i got complete radio silence
@justice_forbert I absolutely agree with you. I really wish that weren’t the case but I’ve seen it myself There was a point when trying to even help Roger that I was so depressed because of how little people in this city actually care They won’t even do the bare minimum of sharing a post
@justice_forbert I definitely agree with all of that I’d really like to see shit change around here but how do we even get people to care if someone being murdered isn’t enough to force a change. Too many people have never been arrested or on the wrong side of police and it seems to give them-
@justice_forbert an odd amount of comfort to where they don’t think it’s necessary to put this as #1 priority. Now the cops are getting fucking raises and they are trying to destroy any kind of help for victims.
Christopher Burbank, one of Manny Ellis’ killers, has resigned his position with Thurston County in response to community pressure. It appears the sheriff asked for his resignation.
Bye 👋🏾 Should've never been hired. Community, keep speaking up.

Thurston County just hired Christopher Burbank, one of the cops who killed Manuel Ellis. He is currently under federal investigation for Manny's murder.
Asylum seekers say they’re trying to get their papers processed and work permits but not having a permanent address makes everything more difficult.
King County officials are hoping to release $1 million in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, here’s a Venmo account to donate to: venmo.com/u/comunidad_si…
100s of asylum seekers were forced to camp outside last night in Seattle, @ Garfield Community Center. They could still use tents, blankets, floor padding & other donations. Washington state / King County has identified more than $30 million to help but $ isn’t available yet.
