Community Stakeholders For Change at LMDC

We honor the twenty-two lives lost at LMDC since May of 2021 and the present moment: David Dahms, Kenneth Hall, Rickkita Smith, Stephanie Dunbar, Gary Wetherill, Keith Smith, Leslie Starnes, Moman Anderson, Jr., Barry Williams Sr., Norman Schekles, Thomas Bradshaw, Buddy Stevens, Bashar Ghazawi, Ishmael Worth Puckett, Miguel A Gudino Resediz, Thomas Simpson, Richard Graham, Shawnta Hughes, Rodney Robinson, Samuel David Bradshaw, Brandon T. McQuillen.

We take action for every incarcerated community member who has died, holding their stories at the core of our collective action for the sake of their families, our communities, and our future.

Community Stakeholders for Change at LMDC is a group of partner organizations and individuals pooling together resources and power in response to the recent rise in deaths at LMDC. Since November 2021, SEVENTEEN of our incarcerated Community Members have died in the care of LMDC. In December 2021 a small group of Community Stakeholders gathered to speak out against inhumane treatment and conditions at LMDC. We demand sustainable change from local city officials. As time has passed with continued harm, our group has grown in size and urgency. Join us in action and educate our communities about the conditions in LMDC.
