BREAKING: Independent medical examiner overrules Mississippi state medical examiner. Says Willie Jones Jr. was lynched. @JULIAN_CRHR solved this case in 2020. julianfreedom.org/press-releases… @DeNeenLBrown @washingtonpost @CNN @MSNBC @nytimes @JoyAnnReid @aunjanuejlt @APNews @CivilRights
Y’all, I had a ball last night at the #imageawards with the incomparable Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. With all that she has done for JULIAN combined with her determination to speak out against what is wrong, she is the Harry Belafonte of our day.
My full quote sets a different tone. I also said “I trust that the DOJ, led by the brilliant Kristen Clarke, will do all they can for this community. Personally, I already see their commitment, and I look forward to the rest of the DOJ’s findings…” @KristenClarkeJD

🎙️ How is building community central to building a new civil rights movement? Jill Collen Jefferson (@JillCollen), founder of @JULIAN_CRHR, explores in a recent Justice Matters podcast episode: bit.ly/47YRRli
Opposing counsel, feel free to take this tweet and throw it in federal court with the others. I’m not going anywhere. You’re not scaring me, and I’m actually flattered by how obsessed you are with me. 😘
Today, I formally requested that Mississippi’s Attorney General @LynnFitchAG charge Lexington police officer Scott Walters with perjury and fabricating evidence for the lies he told under oath during my trial. Let’s stop police from lying on innocent people.
🎙️ On our latest episode of the Justice Matters podcast, co-host Maggie Gates speaks with Jill Collen Jefferson (@JillCollen), founder of @JULIAN_CRHR, on the link between the international human rights movement and civil rights strategizing in the US: bit.ly/47YRRli
Jefferson has filed two federal lawsuits on behalf of Black residents who accuse the Lexington police of mistreating them, and she complained about the force to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Encouraging news coming out of Virginia! Two of JULIAN's priority bills, SB80 (Reentry Modernization) and HB912 (Ending Jail Profiteering) have just made significant strides with strong bipartisan support.
After the verdict, the white officer who arrested me, Scott Walters, sent me a friend request on Facebook, taunting me. If he only knew that he could never phase me. White supremacy has some fkin audacity.
Lexington Judge Marcus Fisher found me guilty on all counts yesterday. The verdict & rationale were already typed out & printed before my trial began. He completely disregarded the evidence, law, and officer’s lies & just read verbatim from his pre-written script. I’ll fight on.
In June, Lexington Police arrested & jailed me for suing them & fighting against their misconduct. My trial is Wednesday. If the judge follows the law, I’ll be acquitted. But this is Mississippi & I’m Black. Either way, I’m gonna stay in LPD’s ass. Can’t stop this train.
#DamionLevy is bravely standing against injustice by confronting the City of Lexington's pattern of brutality and unlawful arrests. This historic lawsuit is a courageous stand against systemic discrimination and misconduct. #JusticeinLexington #WeAreJULIAN
That @TheAcademy did not nominate Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor or Origin really tells me that they don’t know shit. I’ve completely lost respect for them. They’re a useless institution. Artists should boycott their programming.
If @TheAcademy does not nominate Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor for an Oscar for her performance in Origin, it will seal the deal for me that they are completely out of touch with what great filmmaking actually is. That is the best film and performance I have seen in at least a decade.
