Marielle Franco, a councillor who dedicated her life to fight against institutional racism and police brutality, was shot dead in targeted killing in Rio de Janeiro today.

Franco was a black woman who defied the odds of Rio politics to win the fifth highest vote count among council members when she was elected in 2016. She was an expert on police violence, and on Saturday accused officers of being overly aggressive in searching residents of gang-controlled shantytowns. Being killed only a few days later, there are clear signs that this might have been the motivation for her execution.

It really makes you feel hopeless, to see how little the lives of black women matter in Brazil. Marielle, you shall never be forgotten! We bleed for you!
