Friends of Justice,
Please take action to support dedicated live
streamer and activist Stacks as she undergoes treatment for a major
health issue. Stacks was just getting her feet back under her after a
whirlwind tour of following the Black Lives Matter from city to city
in order to bring all of us the Real News of the movement, when
illness struck. Tests have been ongoing for months and remain
inconclusive.
Due to this illness, she has been unable to work
her regular job or be on the front lines of the movement at her usual
frenetic pace. In fact, she's been hardly able to work at all, and
this has brought with it a major financial crisis. The lack of funds
is now at a point where it is impacting her ability to even receive
the necessary treatment for her illness, let alone a proper
diagnosis.
Stacks has been present on many of the front lines
showing the hard truth of life and police brutality in our cities. Her
coverage of Ferguson helped us to understand what it was to be there,
even at a distance. Her presence during the Baltimore Uprising showed
facets that went uncovered by not only mainstream media but many
independent news outlets.
The straight truth is this:
The
movement NEEDS live streamers like Stacks and others to truly
understand what is happening without filter, commentary, or bias.
Streamers bring us the news from behind fogs of military grade tear
gas, in the alleys CNN has never heard of. They do this all while
attempting to avoid the hazards of both unfamiliar cities and
militarized police forces, traveling on their own means, and being
arrested and worse.
Stacks herself has been (and continues to be)
stalked both at home and while following BLM nationwide. She has been
assaulted, threatened, harassed, and abused by those who would seek to
frighten or silence her. She remains vocal and present in the
movement, despite all this.
You can hear more about her work and
the threats against her in a recent episode of Issues Today, the
premier activist talk program on World Jam Global Radio: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9d3_1451814472
Black
Lives Matter. We know this to be true, and as a collective, we need
people like Stacks on our side. Despite every hazard, they do this for
US — so that we can hear the REAL TRUTH and so that we can work to
find REAL JUSTICE.
Please consider contributing to help this valiant live streamer
get back on her feet. As we all know, everyone has a role and every
bit helps. A donation of only $10 or $25 adds up when enough
people stand up to contribute.
And at the end of the day, standing up to make the contribution
you are capable of is all we can ever ask of anyone.Stand proud and
keep fighting.
