Say Their Names

For too many families, they will never get to talk to their loved ones again. Never hear them laugh. Never be able to hug them. Never get to go to see them grow up. Never get to see them follow their dreams. Their lives were cut short, simply because of the color of their skin. No amount of money will make up for their loss. We will never be able to fill the void of having lost a loved one. We can make sure their names are know. We can continue their legacy by never forgetting them.

​

This list is constantly being updated as we sadly have over 200 victims to be added.
