SAY HER NAME
SONJA MASSEY

On March 16, 2024, Psychologists for Social Responsibility hosted an event in honor of Women’s Day called Say Her Name. Inspired by Janelle Monáe’s video Say Her Name, the event emphasized unity, partnership, and action.

The primary focus was on raising awareness about police violence against Black women and exploring ways to increase accountability and ensure justice. Tragically, Sonya Massey has now become one of the many Black women killed by law enforcement.

Psychologists for Social Responsibility vehemently rebukes the ongoing disregard for the humanity, freedom, and civil rights of Black women, who are disproportionately affected by these injustices. Our organization remains committed to activism aimed at eliminating this persistent social issue. It is our responsibility—and that of society as a whole—to address and resolve this historical and ongoing problem.

I promote the idea that everyone can do something within their realm of possibilities. We need to help each other think about what each one can contribute to the process of making the world a more sustainable, peaceful place.
