MARIN COUNTY, Calif. , Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- September 2022 - protests sparked in Marin County. Heart Blaster was tagged in multiple posts on Instagram, and we were sent a flyer and body cam footage via DM that was aired on ABC 7 Bay Area News by a resident in the Canal Community. The flyer read #justiceformateo and the video footage was graphic and disturbing. The body cam footage showed Mateo being slammed to the ground and punched in the face by Officer Brandon Nail, with Officer Daisy Mazariegos standing nearby.
Key Points:
- Heart Blaster Incorporated is bringing to light the racism and discrimination happening in the community of Marin County.
- We learned from community members that Mateo, a local gardener from the Canal Community, was enjoying a beer behind a local restaurant.
- We have learned much about how this community functions while organizing with community members for Mateo and since then.
- Nonprofit organizations are at odd ends with the community, and we have collected many stories of trauma, discrimination, and racism.
