If you haven’t done so already, please sign this petition via Change.org, in hopes of getting Justice for Shukri Abdi. Shukri was a 12-year-old girl who was drowned in a river by her classmates and they have still not been brought to justice. Thank you.

Today, I joined thousands of others in protesting, peacefully, for the justice and freedom of black lives. We marched from the US Embassy in Nine Elms all the way down to Parliament Square.
