In Episode # 33 I had a conversation with Katrina Johnson who is the Senior organizer for Voices of Community Activist and Leaders "Vocal-WA" and former Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion "LEAD" Project Manager. Katrina became a social justice activist/advocate and spokesperson for her family in June of 2017, after her first cousin Charleena Lyles was killed in her home in North Seattle after police officers responded to the location to investigate a burglary Charleena had reported. Katrina is a core member of Families are the Frontline. They provide rapid response to help families across the nation who have lost their loved ones to the police use of deadly force. Katrina works with other families who have lost loved ones to the use of deadly force in Washington state, as well as local nonprofits working to improve policy on the use of lethal force, emphasize de-escalation, reduce instances of deadly force, and improve police-community relations. Katrina gathered signatures for I940 and supported the resolution negotiated by De-Escalate WA and law enforcement leaders that resulted in House Bill 3003, modifying I940 after it was adopted by the legislature. Katrina has been a guest speaker in various cities and states on police reform, served as a panelist locally, nationally, and internationally on police reform and state sponsored violence. Katrina organizes events, and authored an op-ed piece for BET.com
