Chapter Response to Ferguson, MO Grand Jury Decision

11/26/2014

The Members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Omega Kappa Zeta Chapter are saddened and disappointed by the Grand Jury Decision not to indict the officer involved in the murder of Michael Brown of Ferguson, MO. We call for prayers and healing for his family.

Our hearts and prayers also go out to the communities Ferguson and beyond affected by the conditions that our children are consistently faced with. Far too many events mirror the policies and practices our elders fought against and hoped would be a distant memory.

And, like many other citizens of our communities, the Omega Kappa Zeta Chapter will continue to fight inequality and work towards social justice. We will do the research and work required to help fulfill the wishes of the Brown Family to have a camera on the law enforcement officers of the areas we represent.

In Solidarity,
