This project was conceived by Mahogany L. Browne amidst the COVID19 pandemic and worldwide protests against police brutality. 

An email was sent requesting help to read the names of victims of police brutality. In 16 months, we have lost over 1400 people. In an attempt to offer an audio vigil for those lost, MB reached out and over two dozen artists, writers, actors, and advocates responded: YES. While this recording took place, five more victims to police brutality were pronounced dead.

1408 Victims of Police Brutality

1408 Victims of Police Brutality -- The People's Vigil

We the people, speak the name of the lost. We speak the name of the loved. We will not be silent and we will not forget those we lost to police brutality. We will speak their name with love. Then we will fight for justice. 

This an audio vigil, in hopes the streaming of these names serve as a reminder, to those we lost and to those still fighting against police brutality.

Our donations will support organizers on the ground. In effort to feed the community, demand justice for the people, educate ourselves and our children, and live safely. The organizations we will be supporting with these efforts will rotate between the following:  The Okra Project Community Exchange Project & National Bail Out.

If you have an organization that is serving the people and need assistance, please let us know. We are open to adding as many folks to the donation cycle as possible. We will send a donation to a different organization every 30 days.
