I can’t sleep thinking about Cassius Turvey and his short life being taken away by a racially motivated attack, this is not the days of Marshall law folks where Aboriginal people were shot for stealing sheep, this is 2022 FFS! I can’t imaging what his family are going through ♥️ pic.twitter.com/zro1Ruh6o1

Cassius Turvey never made it home from school.

Just 15 years old, he was allegedly targeted by someone who shouted racial slurs, told him to run, and then brutally beat him with a metal pole.

He died days later. This is the ongoing reality of racist violence in Australia. pic.twitter.com/7SOxOjSo39
