Urgent Letter 9/16

Javion MaGee Resource Document

Have you seen our urgent letter this afternoon? Though I wish this letter can be written with warmer news, it is paramount that we as change agents remember that our very service reflects our commitment to an America for all rather than a few. That said, one thing is clear- we’re sick and tired of the trauma/death faced by our intersectional communities especially as our fellow youth. 

On the evening of Wednesday, September 11th, a 21 year old truck driver was found hanging from the base of a tree within rural Vance County, North Carolina. Despite the families demands for transparency and timeliness regarding the death of their loved one, the family emphasized great difficulties in receiving transparent reports from law enforcement and medical examiners. As local/state entities continue their investigation, it is paramount that law enforcement agencies remain consistent in uplifting the same standard of communication for all our intersectional communities especially when losing loved ones. Especially when having to bury their loved ones when their whole life is ahead of them, and especially when families have to fight to get answers in this gut wrenching event. We not only extend our thoughts/prayers to Mr. MaGee alongside his family, but we stand with them in their calls to amplify their loved one as they await answers….
