The case of Christian Obumseli is a tragic reminder of the prevalence of domestic violence and the systemic racism that exists in the criminal justice system. It is important to remember that domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of race or gender. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please reach out for help. There are many resources available, including the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE) and the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (212-714-1141).
We must all work together to create a more just and equitable society where all people are treated with respect and dignity. We must also work to end the scourge of domestic violence.
