Today I had the privilege to (online) meet Marcia Rigg. A black UK woman who now fights for more than 14 years for justice for her brother Sean. Who died in 2008 in police custody, because of #racism and major failings by the #Brixton #police.
Please watch the interview with Marcia at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OEyTLW1uEY and visit the website https://www.seanriggjusticeandchange.com.
And remember. As you can see this is not only an American issue, but also happens in the UK and other Western countries. Let's never forget those victims of #PoliceViolence and other forms of #PoliceBrutality!
