Calls for Justice for Aurora’s Violinist Elijah McClain Grow

Elijah McClain was a kind and gentle 23 year old who worked as a massage therapist in Aurora, CO. On his lunch breaks from work, Elijah would go to the animal shelters and play violin for the animals because he thought that they were lonely in their cages and thought that the music would calm them. 

In August 2019, Elijah went to the gas station to buy some iced tea for himself and his cousins. Because he suffered from anemia he would often wear a ski/ runner mask over his face to stay warm. On his way home, the Aurora Police department were called to reports of a “suspicious man.” 

(Warning: for violent description) Elijah was apprehended by a group of three cops, despite committing NO crime and being unarmed. A struggle occurred, and he was held in a very dangerous carotid hold around his neck while he cried for help, cried out that he couldn’t breathe, cried out that he was nonviolent and couldn’t even kill a fly, and was repeatedly throwing up. Elijah weighed a mere 140 pounds. You can hear on the audio footage, an officer instructing another to move their body camera out of view.

While 3 Aurora Police Dept officers violently restrained him they called Aurora Fire Dept, who injected him with ketamine (a powerful drug used to tranquilize horses or in surgeries by a trained anesthesiologist and illegal to be administered by anyone else) even though he was already cuffed and calm.

He went into cardiac arrest , slipped into a coma, and his family was advised to take him off life support 6 days later.

The cops were transferred to another department but never received charges.

you sneak out of your house to fight for women’s suffrage in the 1920s because your husband is a senator who opposes women’s suffrage but then you get arrested for protesting in front of the whitehouse. when he comes to bail you out, you tell him that you won’t go with him because a woman is not free in or out of jail. 

you and your best friend go to a dance together in the 50s. he comes to pick you up in his red thunderbird and you get in. you guys are of COURSE just friends, even though everyone thinks you are dating. you laugh about it on the way there, but as the night gets later and you start dancing, you notice you’re starting to get closer and closer to each other. then a slow song comes on…

youre a emo teen from the early 2000s and you just got home from getting snake bites. you slam the door to your room closed and lay down on your black comforter and stare at the picture of Gerard Way on the ceiling. you think, “no one understands me.”
