It is disheartening that in the year 2026, simply doing your job unbiased is still too much to ask, we as black people aren’t asking for special treatment, just the same benefit of a doubt that is afforded to those they deem worthy
Anthony supported: Petition to Revoke Stacey Turner’s medical license.As a black woman living in the United States in the red state of Florida, there’s so much injustice and racism that has continued to plague our country. We should not have people in positions of power, for instance medical examiners or law enforcement that never gets true justice for Black people. Stacey is clearly withholding evidence regarding Nolan Wells autopsy. The throat the stomach and the lungs were removed. Why would you need to remove that and not keep it with the body for the private autopsy? This is a cover-up and we know it. We are no longer going to stay quiet this racism in our country has got to stop and we are gonna stand up for every black body who are victims of racism and injustice in this country.
Tracy supported: Petition to Revoke Stacey Turner’s medical license.They say race doesn’t matter, but history tells a different story. Growing up in Mississippi, we were taught to say “yes, ma’am,” “no, ma’am,” “yes, sir,” and “no, sir” as a sign of respect and survival. Yet even now, there is nothing equal about this justice system. Too many people still face unfair treatment, unequal opportunities, and judgment based on appearance and background.
My skin is brown, and my roots are American. I believe in God, and I believe in justice, truth, and accountability. We need to come together with our allies to stand for what is right. This is bigger than a battle; it is a struggle for dignity, fairness, and real change.
Our people have suffered deeply through violence, family separation, and the destruction of homes, churches, schools, and communities. Civil rights leaders and their allies sacrificed everything, and yet equality still feels out of reach. I pray that one day justice will come, and that evil will no longer have the final word.
John supported: Petition to Revoke Stacey Turner’s medical license.I came here from Eleanor Neale YouTube. I hope that Tam and her family receive the recognition and support and proper justice for the reopening and investigation. When I heard this years ago I was so heartbroken. Gifting the officers gift cards, the lack of pictures during autopsy, the disregard of communication to the victim’s family, and Jeanne responding after gifting the cards “do you need me so I can get to this funeral” and the mention of “after the case is closed” so much said about her choice of words that it spoke volumes. This breaks my heart! Justice for Tam and her family.
Zsa’Tawn supported: State of Georgia: Fire Sheriff Ron Freeman, stop his corruption and constant cover-ups as Sheriff in Forsyth CountyJe me nomme Mame Thierno Faye, sénégalais et résidant au Canada depuis 2019. J’ai connu Serigne Saliou au Sénégal, aux Maristes. On n’a habité dans le meme quartier pendant plus de 8ans.
Serigne Saliou Ndoye a toujours été une personne dévouée et impliquée dans les actions sociales de quartier et de sa communauté. Son sourire et la première chose qu’on voit chez lui quand on le croise montrant un accueil chaleureux. Il est très instruit, correct, respectueux et responsable. De loin apres mon voyage pour poursuivre mes etudes on a toujours eu d’excellentes relations et cesse de me donner des conseils d’ami et de grand frère. Et, je ne suis pas la seule personne qui pourrait témoigner cela. Depuis son séjour aux États Unis il a participé activement aux activités de développement de la communauté sénégalaise vivant aux États Unis. C’est une personne dévouée, ambitieuse et n’hésite pas à oublier sa propre personne pour le bien de l’autrui.
Que le bon Dieu lui vienne en aide durant ces moments fi barakati Sheikhoul Khadim
Mame thierno supported: Urge the Release of Serigne Saliou NdoyeIn support of Serigne Saliou Ndoye who is an outstanding member of the Senegalese and Mouride Community of the United States. The accusations against him need to be fully investigated and as a human being his rights need to be respected and protected. The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, guarantees the right to a fair trial and includes provisions that protect individuals accused of crimes, including the right to a public and speedy trial, the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, and the right to be confronted with witnesses against them.
Cheikh supported: Urge the Release of Serigne Saliou NdoyeI've known Serigne Saliou since around 2015-2016, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most positively influential people l've ever met.
When I was a teenager struggling with confidence, he played a key role in helping me grow into the man I am today. He encouraged me to be disciplined, to step out of my comfort zone, and to lead with integrity-values I've carried with me into my professional and personal life.
Serigne Saliou is a guide, a mentor, and a role model-especially to the youth. He is well known across Texas and the broader North American Senegalese community for his peaceful demeanor, his beautiful recitation of religious prayers (Khassida of Serigne Touba), and his strong presence on social media and television. Multiple TV stations air his videos daily, and he has a large following online because of the purity and sincerity he represents.
If you search his full name on Google, he's the first to appear—always in the context of worship, community service, or uplifting others.
What's even more important to understand is that our community is not one where people commonly face criminal charges or detention. We come from a
peaceful, respectful tradition that values humility and faith. Serigne Saliou is a product of that culture-someone whose life has been an example of kindness, faith, and service. That's why his current detention has left so many of us heartbroken and confused
As someone who has achieved professional and personal success here in the United States, I can confidently say that Serigne Saliou is not just a community figure—he is a community pillar. He has never been involved in wrongdoing, and his character and contributions speak for themselves.
Serigne supported: Urge the Release of Serigne Saliou NdoyeSerigne Saliou Ndoye is model citizen; he is a rideshare driver living and working in Texas. I am writing this testimony to bring public awareness to an unjust and deeply distressing incident that led to his arrest; an experience that now threatens his freedom, livelihood, and immigration status in the United States.
He picked up a rideshare customer as part of his regular workday. During the ride, the passenger asked him to play music. He politely declined, as he prefers to maintain a calm and neutral environment for driving. This simple refusal escalated into something he could never have imagined.
Unbeknownst to him, the passenger texted her friends during the ride, instructing them to call the police. She later accused him of sequestration—a serious and false claim suggesting he had held her against her will.
He was shocked. He never prevented her from leaving the vehicle, nor did He behave aggressively or inappropriately in any way.
When the police arrived, he tried to explain himself, but his limited understanding of English made it difficult to defend himself clearly. Rather than taking the time to understand his side or verify the facts, the officers quickly arrested him based solely on the accusations.
None of the allegations against him are true. The trauma of that day has affected every part of his life.
This experience has made me realize how quickly misunderstandings—especially those compounded by language barriers and bias—can escalate into life-altering consequences. I am sharing this story to shed light on how easily immigrant workers can become victims of false accusations, rushed policing, and a system that too often ignores our voices.
I call on the public, the media, and justice advocates to stand with Mr. Serigne Saliou Ndoye. No one should be silenced by a language barrier or condemned without being heard.
