The Genocide of Native American Peoples Continues

Last updated on: November 19, 2019 at 8:39 pm By Jeff Hood

Thanksgiving… Feathers. Moccasins. War Paint. Battle Cries. Arrows. We only had to be quiet momentarily. Once we got done with the pilgrims, we could really let it rip. On the playground, we fought like our lives depended on it and enjoyed every minute of it. I thought nothing of it. Why would I? I was having a blast. Nobody told us that it was important to respect Native American cultures. I don’t think anybody cared. Time did what my teachers couldn’t. Slowly, knowledge... Read more

Rodney Reed is Not Innocent

Last updated on: November 14, 2019 at 1:34 pm By Jeff Hood

For the better part of a decade, I’ve given my life to the abolition of the death penalty. I’ve marched hundreds of miles. I’ve ministered to countless condemned souls. I’ve been arrested. I’ve served on boards. I’ve traveled widely. I’ve written books. I’ve given interviews. I’ve held press conferences. I’ve been on the cover of multiple publications. I’ve been featured on numerous programs. To be quite frank, you will find very few people who have done more for abolition in recent... Read more

Last updated on: November 10, 2019 at 11:17 pm By Jeff Hood

Atatiana Jefferson 1990 – 2019 The young woman was murdered. The officer didn’t hesitate. I guess he thought he was going to be a hero. Such thoughts quickly turned to shit. I don’t know what that call was like. The phone rang. The phone wasn’t supposed ring. Maybe it wasn’t a call. Maybe the words came face to face. I can’t imagine. Life was dead. Nothing was ever going to be the same. Before... Read more

On the Innocence of Brandon Gonzales.

Last updated on: November 1, 2019 at 6:15 pm By Jeff Hood

There were days of planning. Repeatedly, he went by The Party Venue to rehearse his entrance and his exit. Careful planning was the only way to make sure that things didn’t go sloppy. The gun was easy to acquire. When the night finally came, he got all of his equipment and headed for his target. Throughout the night, he hunted Kevin Berry, Jr. He needed him to get in just the right place. When he stepped on the right... Read more

No One is Safe in Fort Worth : Jerry Wayne Waller & Atatiana Jefferson

Last updated on: October 18, 2019 at 11:51 pm By Jeff Hood

Something wasn’t right. Deeply concerned about the alarm going off at the neighbor’s house…the Good Samaritan raced to help. Picking up a gun for protection…the Good Samaritan ventured a few steps out of his house. Before the Good Samaritan was able to realize anything that was going on…shots rang out. The Good Samaritan collapsed on his own property. Before death could claim the Good Samaritan…the Samaritan’s last thought was a prayer that everyone else was ok. Even before the blood... Read more

Last updated on: September 26, 2019 at 10:46 pm By Jeff Hood

Since its modern inception, I have given my life to the Dallas Movement. I didn’t expect to become a leader…but I guess I am. I didn’t choose this path…this path was chosen for me. At all of the marches…the rallies…the protests…the actions, I did my best to help create healthy productive spaces to channel the rage that so often consumed us. Sometimes we were more successful than others. There has always been a contingent that wanted... Read more
