On July 17, 2014, #EricGarner was killed by New York police after being placed in a banned chokehold. Garner pleaded “I can’t breathe” eleven times and tragically died hours later. His killing was a result of police accusing him of selling cigarette singles.

Today and everyday we fight for victims like Eric Garner and their families. His senseless killing reminds us of the importance to continue to fight to end carceral violence and hold police officers that harm our communities accountable.
