WJP joins all who are rising up in defense of Black lives and against the violence, death, racism, gender oppression, and economic injustice that white supremacy has inflicted in this country for centuries. We recognize that this same racism and violence drives our dehumanizing system of mass incarceration and the rampant abuse experienced by people behind the walls.
We mourn and honor the Black women, men and gender expansive people who have been killed by state-sanctioned violence.
