Justice for teen killed by Texas police

Latest

Jordan Edwards

 
Fifteen-year old Jordan Edwards was killed by Texas police who opened fire on a car of kids leaving a party. The boys in the car saw smoke coming from Jordan’s head. In May, an officer was charged with murder, however, the family’s lawyer reminds the community that he is not yet convicted. The attack on Black youth nationwide and others by police is not separate from the attack on immigrant families and other sections of the working class. All of these struggles are part of the same struggle against an oppressive system that threatens all of us. Whether we are fighting hunger, lack of housing, police killings, or deportations, we must stand up whenever one of us is attacked. We must demand justice for Jordan Edwards. — The Editors
