Message from Sal:
For those who aren't on facebook, I posted this a couple of days ago:As this is really in the public eye right now, a few of us had the idea of making a collage of photos of as many of us as possible holding a sheet of paper with the name of a POC who has been killed in police custody, especially here in the UK. As the list is hundreds long (or more!) it may get so big that you can't read the names any more, but I think that only adds to the point.We're collating a spreadsheet of names. Please add to it if you can and/or pick a name, write your name next to theirs and then take a photo of yourself holding an A4 sheet of paper with their name on in front of your chest, like a mug shot. Then send it to me.
