Making the Best Things. Making Less Things

  • #ENDSARS: The Colonial Roots of Nigeria's SARS Police Force and the Youth-Led Freedom Movement To End It

    The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), like the gang units in Los Angeles and police outfits in Oakland, Chicago, and Miami, cast a wide net on whole communities under the guise of being tough on crime and maintaining safety. But they are all guilty of terrorizing the people through murder, torture, imprisonment, blackmail, kidnapping, sexual assault, framing, invading homes, and other awful abuses. The end goal is always the same- crush the resistance of the people fighting for justice and empowerment, and keep power and resources in the hands of those already in power. The call to #endsars is felt in Los Angeles, all across Black communities in the U.S., and everywhere we're struggling for freedom.
