900 E Michigan Street, Milwaukee County O’Donnell Park, 6 P.M.
On Sunday, June 18th, 17 year old Nabra Hassanen was abducted, raped, and murdered while walking back to her local mosque for early morning prayers in Sterling, VA. Currently, officials are labeling this incident as “road rage.” Our communities know better: we have been experiencing increased violence in our neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship for some time. We also know that the national origin and immigration status of the man who killed Nabra does not matter, he acted on vicious anti-Black and anti-Muslim racism that has become normalized today.
We cannot separate this terrible act of violence from the current political moment, a moment where Black lives are under increased attack, where individuals like Nabra’s murderer are emboldened by the anti-Black, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric, where are communities are pitted against one another, and where law enforcement can overlook these trends and label this crime as anything other than hate.
Join us as we stand — together — in solidarity with Nabra’s family and community against hate and call on Fairfax County officials to investigate her brutal murder as a hate crime.
