Hi everyone,
I started this campaign because on 8/26/15 the nypd in riot gear, protected by racist laws and policies such as RICO, busted into my mom's apartment and ripped my brother out of the bed in his sleep subsequently locking him up. This arrest comes after years of the 76th precinct attempting to railroad my brother into prison and they have finally found a way to make the arrest stick despite his innocence. We worked tirelessly to raise the money to secure him a private attorney who had been winning all the hearings leading up to trial. 6 days prior to trial the DA had our lawyer removed the case putting us in an extremely difficult position. We have been forced to find a brand new attorney with the necessary expertise if we wish to ever see my brother outside of rikers again. Due to the nature of the case we will need to pay 40k to cover the costs of a new lawyer and trial. My brother is not a criminal despite how the media has attempted to portray him and other black men and women in this country. He is a mathematician, a comedian, a big and little brother,an uncle, a son and grandson. He is intelligent, charming and incredibly loving. He does not belong in prison and this system has enslaved him for too long already. Please help us raise funds for a new lawyer so we can finally end this nightmare BEFORE we lose yet another innocent black man to this corrupt system.
Any amount you can donate helps and is warmly appreciated. There's nothing we wouldn't do to break the chains off the 2.2 million women and men incarcerated in this country, many of them in a similar situation as my brother. All funds raised over 40K will be donated to other incarcerated men and women.
Thank you for your support. ♡
