The African American Policy Forum, the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School and Andrea Ritchie, Soros Justice Fellow, are thrilled to announce the release of a new brief on Black women and police violence:
Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women
Say Her Name highlights the stories of Black women killed by police, and shines a light on forms of police brutality Black women experience, such as sexual assault.
The brief’s release falls on the National Day of Action for Black Women and Girls called by Black Youth Project 100, Ferguson Action, and #BlackLivesMatter. For a list of national actions, click here.
Say Her Name is intended to serve as a resource for the media, organizers, researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders to better understand and address Black women’s experiences of profiling and policing.
Help Spread the Message that ALL Black Lives Matter

Say Her Name is accompanied by a social media guide with sample tweets, memes, and tools to spread the word that indeed ALL Black lives matter. Yesterday during our vigil in remembrance of Black women killed by police violence, #SayHerName was the second most popular hashtag in New York, showing that many are committed to engendering the movement to combat police violence. To keep this momentum going, we encourage you to use our sample Tweets and images or share what stood out to you most from the brief.
