Protesters in more than a dozen cities across the country gathered Monday for a Day of Outrage to demand justice for black women who have been killed by police. The protests were honoring the life of 28-year-old Atatiana Jefferson, who was shot and killed inside her own home by a white police officer in Fort Worth, Texas, earlier this month. The officer shot her through her own bedroom window while responding to a non-emergency wellness check called for by a neighbor because Jefferson’s front door had been left open. This is activist Tamika Mallory at the protest in New York City, standing next to Atatiana’s sister.

Tamika Mallory: “They say that if we are silent, folks will believe that we are OK with the violence and oppression that is happening to our communities. And we are not OK with it. We are angry. We are frustrated. We are tired. And we are outraged.”
