Hello Family & Friends,

My house caught on fire and damage is so excessive that my roommates and I will be displaced for at least 6 months. 6 adults lived in my home and also 1 child. I have to keep making my mortgage payments and my roommates simply wont be able to afford their monthly fees on top of finding another place to be temporarily. All of the financial support will go towards my mortgage payments and I appreciate any amount anyone can give. I’m a 1st generation home owner and this is just devastating. I was so proud of my home. I felt such a deep sense of gratitude waking up in a home i knew was mine and that i worked really hard for. I felt a deep privilege of being able to let loved ones stay with me when necessary. Thank you everyone in advance for any donations and any support you send our way.

Please keep my cousin Freddy in your prayers. He has 3rd degree burns and has a long road of recovery ahead.

Thank you,
Steph Ortiz

GREEN BAY, WI — A diverse crowd of dozens  participated in a “Rally Against Police Privilege” (Justice For Jonathon Tubby) protest Feb. 2, 2019 in Green Bay. The action was called after the Green Bay District Attorney’s Office announced Feb. 1 that no charges would be brought against the killer cops that murdered Jonathon. Tubby’s family has filed a federal lawsuit.

Participants at the Black Lives United – Green Bay sponsored protest came from throughout the Green Bay area, various Indigenous Nations, Manitowoc, Oshkosh, Racine and other locations.

Beginning with chants for justice such as “Native Lives Matter,” and “Black Lives Matter,” a circle speak out took place followed by a march on the Green Bay police station (See photos below).

Speakers throughout the event expressed their outrage regarding the police murder of Jonathon, sent condolences and solidarity to his family and pledged future support. Many made connections to the thousands of mostly Black and Brown people murdered by police in recent years and the ongoing colonial occupation of Indigenous Nations and other oppressed peoples and all the brutality that entails such as police/military occupations and under or no employment.

Before departing, the multinational crowd vowed to continue to fight for justice for Jonathon and others murdered by the police and to continue building the people’s movement.
