Ms. Turner’s family said she was not violent and was picking up trash in her neighborhood, something she was known to do, when she was confronted by a white police officer. WE CAN joins Ms. Turner’s family seeking justice for Pamela and asks that you send a letter to Baytown’s City Attorney Ignacio Ramirez, Sr. demanding a thorough investigation of the incident. #SayHerName should have been retired a long time ago, but until women of color are no longer victimized in state sanctioned violence, WE CAN will continue to demand justice! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/we-demand-justice-for-pamela-turner
