#JusticeForAfrica

#JusticeForAfrica

This blog began from our desire to bring awareness to the #endSARS crisis that is ongoing in Nigeria. From there, we have been in conversation with our brothers and sisters in Africa and want to open this conversation to bring light to the array of hardships they are facing at this very moment. We stand in solidarity with all who are affected by these crises, and we hope that we can help bring attention - and therefore action - to support our community in Africa.
