Black and brown girls are coming up missing in DC but no ones talking about it. 70,000+ and counting. This is heartbreaking.

They are ignoring them missing AND the reasons. Listen, y’all not from this area may not be aware but this has been an enormous, unreported issue for 20 years. I grew up hearing my friends across the DMV mention this. Girls from Southeast, Northeast, Anacostia, Franconia, Brookland, so many D.C. areas…gone like ghosts. My parents wanted me home immediately because “no one was snatchin’ they baby”. So, we have to be vigilant and remind ourselves why Black and brown girls are vulnerable/the authorities are often in on it.

Why is there a room of people of color asking for answers and getting none? It’s terrifying.

The fact that there is no obvious increase in missing person cases, when compared to previous years, bothers me. It seems as they are being taken until a quota is met. You feel me?

I feel you 100%.

It’s as if this has been happening for years, and this is the first time the media’s reported on it.
