Erica Garner Passed Away!


Prominent Black Lives Matter activist Erica Garner has passed away after suffering a fatal heart attack. She was the daughter of Eric Garner, the father of seven who was killed by dirty cop Danny Pantaleo of the NYPD.

The death of Garner was sparked by a fatal chokehold and a heart attack. The NYPD tried to restrain him for selling looseys, a slang for cigarettes.

Pantaleo would be cleared of murder and sidelined to desk duty.

Since the death, his daughter became a vocal activist.

She demanded NYPD clean house of its racism, police brutality and cover ups.

She would be actively calling for justice for all people of color killed by law enforcement.

She called out politicians for not hearing the concerns and remained an active voice until her death.
Eric Gardner's death sparked a movement. 
Word hit the internet this Saturday she was taken off life support.

Her legacy will not go in vein. We will continue the fight for her, Eric and people of color killed by bad cops.

Bad cops kill good cops and everyone around them.

Erica leaves behind her mother, Esaw Garner. She leaves behind a daughter and newborn son. She has five siblings and a half sibling.
