In Our Names

Our mission is to gather and share resources relating to state violence against Black women, girls trans and gender nonconforming people and femmes, and to build a network of grassroots organizing groups working to prevent, ensure accountability, and end all forms of state violence against Black women, girls, trans, and gender nonconforming people and femmes!

Currently we maintain the inournamesnetwork.com resource hub and FaceBook page. 

 

Our Four Main Areas of Work:

  • Documenting sexual violence by law enforcement officers stationed in and around schools through a national participatory research project
  • Building responses to unmet mental health needs beyond police
  • Developing strategies for police accountability beyond prosecution
  • Building safety for Black trans women and GNC people
