Amplifying the Voices of Black Families Impacted by Gun Violence
Help Solve a Murder, a powerful six-part docuseries, will launch its Kickstarter campaign on March 1st. Created by Asianique Savage in partnership with the Alliance for a Safe Oregon and Gal Pal, the series amplifies the voices of Black mothers and families in Portland that are fighting for justice after losing loved ones to gun violence.
The docuseries will explore how deaths caused by gun violence have devastated communities, and how systemic failures across Portland's justice system have left families with nothing but grief. These families' demands for accountability have fallen on deaf ears in a city grappling with deeply rooted racism, gentrification, and displacement.
''I'm not just telling my story-I'm telling the stories of every family in Portland who has been ignored by a system that fails them," said Savage, who lost both her mother and brother to gun violence. 'This project is a call for justice that has been too long delayed."
In collaboration with the Alliance for a Safe Oregon, a nonprofit on a mission to end gun-related tragedies, and with production support from creative storytelling company Gal Pal, this Kickstarter campaign will raise funds for the pre-production and production phases of the docuseries. With support, Help Solve a Murder will shine a light on the ongoing fight for justice in Portland's communities impacted by gun violence and advocate for change in a broken system.
This project is more than just a docuseries-it's a call to action! We need your support to make this vision a reality. By pledging your support on Kickstarter, you will help amplify the voices of those who have been silenced for too long. People in power must listen and take action. The time for change is now, and we are asking you to stand with us in demanding justice.
