WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

Marshae Jones was shot in 2018 during an argument. She was 5-months pregnant at the time and the trauma ended the pregnancy. While charges were dropped against the shooter, the survivor, Marshae Jones is now being charged with manslaughter for starting the argument. Black and indigenous women are almost always the first targets of policies that attempt to steal autonomy over their own bodies from women. Marshae is clearly the victim in this situation, yet she know faces a hefty prison sentence for being shot. She is being held on a $50,000 bail. This is absolutely disgusting, and we must end both the system of cash bail and the prison industrial complex that seeks to criminalize black, brown, and working class white people at every opportunity. #SayHerName

According to Color of Change, Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund and Yellowhammer Fund are both working to raise bail. [Link to original tweet, June 27 2019]

She was shot in the abdomen FIVE TIMES by a woman she was arguing with over her baby's father and that monster is walking free even though she intentionally shot her in the stomach clearly aiming for one thing! This is sick!!!!!! Even if she started the fight, she never deserved to be shot, and she doesn't deserve to be held responsible for another person's actions! She is the fucking victim here, and yet she is being punished for something somebody else did!!!! This is so wrong, I don't even know what to say.
