We will not forget you

Yesterday morning, a Tucson jury found Shawna Forde guilty on two counts of first-degree murder and on one count of attempted first-degree murder for shooting Brisenia's mom, Gina Gonzalez. The death of this little girl was largely ignored by the mainstream media, the same media that gives anti-immigrant groups a platform from which to express their extremist views. While we are satisfied with the jury's verdict, nothing can replace the loss that Brisenia's mother has experienced. Together with people around the country, we express our condolences to her family. Gina Gonzalez has yet to endure two more trials, set to begin this spring, for Jason Bush - the alleged gunman - and Albert Gaxiola, an accomplice in this horrible crime.

We wish to honor Brisenia's memory by providing you with a way to share your prayers and thoughts with her mother through this difficult time. You can do so by clicking here act.presente.org

The murder of Brisenia Flores and her father, Raul, will not be forgotten. The guilty verdict provides an opportunity to both raise awareness of growing anti-Latino hatred and loudly echo an entire community’s demand for justice. The murder in Arizona, ground zero for anti-Latino, anti-immigrant hatred in the United States, inspired many in our community to say, “No te olvidaremos / We will not forget you”.
