Today would have been Juston Root’s 42nd birthday. Our family misses Juston more than words can express, he should have been alive and here with us today.
Honor Juston’s 42nd Birthday with a Call for Justice - Please help the petition reach 7K signatures today
Here are two things you can do right now, in less than five minutes, to honor him.
1. Share the petition on social media – Facebook, Twitter (we hope the petition reaches 7K signatures today)
- Juston Root was shot and killed by police in February of 2020. For what would have been his 42nd birthday, I signed the petition calling for #JusticeForJustonRoot. Please join me in calling for an independent investigation into his death and sign now: https://www.change.org/JusticeforJuston
2. Call Attorney General Maura Healey and ask her to publicly call for an independent investigation into Juston's killing: Phone: 617-727-2200 email: ago@state.ma.us
- Suggested script: “I’m calling in honor of what would have been Juston Root’s 42nd birthday. He was shot and killed by Massachusetts law enforcement more than a year ago. Will you publicly call for an independent investigation into his death?”
Our family is still looking for justice and transparency, not just for him, but for everyone who has tragically lost a loved one to police violence.
Can you take action today to hold police accountable?
