New Episode Alert! "What is important, I think, that most migrant families need to know is that you need to verbalize this right to remain silent.

On this episode of the KYRC Podcast, host Amir Whitaker sits down with Diana Barbadillo discuss immigration rights during the new administration of Donald Trump.

“One of our key initiatives now is our #autopsyinitiative. That came out a little over 18 months ago. And that gives free secondary autopsies to any families of loved ones who have been killed in a police related death. And the key factor there in police related deaths is oftentimes the sheriff is the coroner or the pathologist who is doing the autopsy. They have a relationship with the police department. So there's a lot of bias in the autopsies. So we have independent pathologists that families can come to and we will pay for the autopsy for them. So no cost to the family, and they'll be able to get a second autopsy to get clarity on what happened and their scenarios that what the first autopsy was.” #ColinKaepernick Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/eBiTC8K2

Congratulations to our co-founder?#ColinKaepernick?who was honored at The Gordon Parks Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner and Auction which celebrates those carrying on Gordon Parks’ legacy of advancing arts and social justice. “Nights like this also make me think about all the people who aren’t here. All the doors, all the barriers that we still have to kick down so everybody else can come through,” added?#ColinKaepernick. “So when we leave here today, I ask for one thing: That all of us walk in that power. Kick those doors down. Open those windows up. Break those walls down so that the future we all want to live, we get to live together.” ????????? #GordonParks #GordonParksFoundation #SpikeLee

Driven by a passionate commitment to uplift Black and Brown communities,?#KnowYourRightsCamp?wholeheartedly embraces the power of education to inspire self-empowerment, mobilize communities, and pioneer transformative systems. These efforts aim to elevate a new generation poised to lead profound change. Our camps embody the heart and soul of this mission, turning our deeply held beliefs into vibrant, tangible realities. Our 12th camp was held at Cass Technical High School in Detroit and was an unforgettable day filled with inspiration and learning. We welcomed eager young minds from across the region, immersing them in their rich heritage while ensuring they learned their legal rights. Youth in attendance were presented with valuable knowledge about finance and opportunities within the tech industry. The event also emphasized the importance of nurturing both the mind and body through presentations about mental health and physical health. By the end of the day, every child left with their spirits soaring, equipped with the knowledge and tools to transform their communities and the world. We are deeply grateful for our co-founders Colin & Nessa, the KYRC team and it’s volunteers as well as the various presenters at?#KYRC?#Detroit: Brandan ‘BMike’ Odums and the Eternal Seeds team (Art), Cyekeia Lee and Mariela Regalado (Education), Melissa Jean-Baptiste (Finance), Crystal Bernard and Alana Burke (History), Nicole and Cayden Brown (Legal Rights), Haven Essien & Dr. Daicia Price (Mental Health), Armond Rashaad (Physical Health) and Antoine Digital (Technology). Their dedication and passion have been instrumental in making our mission a reality, and we are honored to have them as part of our community. Where should the next KYRC location be? Let us know as we continue to pave the way for a brighter, more empowered tomorrow. Watch the recap https://lnkd.in/gJ_WKiVz
