Joy KMT, a Black woman, mother, activist, healer and artist has been cut off from her social and support networks by a racist white man determined to silence her for speaking out against racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and many other forms of oppression. He reported her to Facebook and she is blocked from her account.

She has used Facebook as a successful platform to build relationships and impact the world for the uplift of many lives. She is an important and necessary community resource. Facebook also is linked to sources of necessary income for Joy. Facebook must investigate further the deactivation of someone's account as it relates to their ability to conduct matters in their life that are critical to their well-being and survival.

Removing her from Facebook is something that is not just felt online but literally all over the world, because her reach is vast. She will be cut off of archives of her poetry, photographs of herself, family and friends, opportunities to receive and share information and conversations that are essential for us to shift the oppressive paradigms we live under.

The friends and supporters of Joy KMT demand that her account be reactivated immediately.

Please sign this petition to demand that Facebook reactive Joy KMT's account so that she may be connected to her community, utilize the platform in a democratic manner to share her voice and do the work in service to justice and liberation that she has been committed to for years.

Please read Joy KMT's blog post to learn more about the context of this situation. http://goo.gl/RW0QJK
