"Members of Black Women Speak Coalition, made up of Black women-led and women-led organizations from Bridgeport and around the state, proactively reached out to the families and their attorney to discuss and inform them of the Black Women Speak March, and had positive conversations with the family members we spoke to. We are showing up in solidarity with them and with so many other Black women who have been mistreated, disrespected, and harmed by the Bridgeport Police Department, and by the complicity and silence of Mayor Ganim and his administration. We respect the families' privacy during this difficult time of grief and loss."
