OUR demands include the following:

Friday, 9/16 DE POLICE VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL FROM Wilmington DE at a Brandywine Highschool football game!  And then the judge on the case gave Jer'rina a Felony charge of Inciting a Riot   Why? Because she had friends who cared enough about her condition to yell at the strong arm of the law crushing their FRIEND or "bro" as the tweens and teens call girls and boys nowadays. There is NO WAY the judge saw this video before giving her this charge! We must Decarcerate Delaware & Decarcerate Our Future from this kind of Injustice!   This Carceral state unfairly criminalizes and imprisons far too many poor mostly Black people including children, destroying families and futures in the process!  

A sad truth is that around the country tragedies involving police and young people across this nation especially women is not decreasing but growing at an alarming rate and the level of severity and sickness is also rising!

Jer'rina Green, as stated is being charged with Inciting a Riot as well as Offensive Touching. The other children and teenagers were yelling at the arresting officer because Jer'rina has an artificial hip. Her injuries sustained include lacerations on her knees stress fractures in her back, severe trauma to her spine and hip pain, When the officer heard Jer'rina's friends yelling at him to get off her back because she has an artificial hip he can be heard saying, "NOT MY PROBLEM! I DONT F*CKING CARE!"   HE DIDN’T CARE THAT HE WOULD BREAK HER BACK EITHER!

FORWARD TOGETHER!

FOR JUSTICE!

There has been an extreme uptick in police violence in Delaware specifically involving the New Castle County Police and against young women while in their custody. While police have on body cameras the footage is not released to the public even when there is very solid and credible evidence that they have behaved like criminals. New Castle County Police are getting away with Murder & Rape and will continue to brutalize the most vulnerable, pure and beautiful if we don't do something NOW! We must put an end to these animalistic and criminal actions commited by those put in the positions of authority who have been commissioned to protect and serve the public. We must put public safety first, before the badge which has stood for curruption for far too long. No one should be above moral law.

On Tuesday September 27, 2022 many organizations including but not limited to: The NAACP, Working Families Party, Democratic Socialiast, Delaware Poor People's Campaign an several others came out to assemble in protest for justice for Jer'rina Green and Jer'rina thanked everyone remotely in a letter that she wrote that was read by her mother Rosalynn.

The reason why that  protest was scheduled for Tuesday, Sep 27th at 5PM was because that was the day that Jer'rina's mother, Rosalynn had off from work. As an essential worker in the hospitals administering care to the sick and ailing she is almost always at work. She was at work when she got the call that Jer'rina was arrested at the football game. Please make any sized donation to the family here. The criminal attorney who is charging a $700 retainer fee must be paid since Jer'rina was charged with this ridiculous felony which could hinder her for the rest of her life: https://gofund.me/f7e07ee7

It's disgusting to imagine a 17 year old girl being convicted of a felony for being brutalized and injured in this way today. We can not allow this!
