I am Larresha Parker, a victim of persistent and escalating targeted harassment, also called Victim of State-Sponsored Harassment”  tactics to silence the voices of their citizens. My saga began in 2021, when I found myself at the receiving end of discrimination, hate, and harassment in hospitals, public places, and within my own community. In 2023 my 9 month old Baby was a victim as well, the Doctors tried to do open Brain Surgery on my child, when it wasn’t Medically Necessary. Highly unethical and is a Serious Matter that is being swept under the rug. This conduct is not only offensive and dehumanizing, it is a stark violation of my civil rights. My ordeal grants me first-hand knowledge that our civil rights are undeniably in jeopardy. My fight today is not just for myself, but for every individual deprived of justice and silenced by organized acts of hate assisted by governmental entities and organizations. If it could happen to me, it could happen to you.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 clearly outlines the prevention of discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Yet, countless members of our society, including myself, are systematically oppressed under the disguise of hate and bigotry. In 2019, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) reported 7,314 hate crime incidents, a high not seen since 2008 (FBI 2019 Hate Crime Statistics). Indicatively, this menace is dramatically on the rise and must be curtailed urgently.

Make your voice heard, stand with me today, and together we can bring this cycle of hate to an end. Sign this petition and send a clear message to government and organizations alike – when it comes to preserving civil rights, the community will not be quiet. Show your support to end targeted harassment and hate-inspired suppression in our communities.
