amidst all this celebration i hope we can also take a sec to remember Ramsey Orta who will be in prison for another 3.5 years for simply catching clear police brutality on tape, and i hope we can remember all the people that we don’t know about who have been effectively silenced and imprisoned for trying to reveal corruption within government 

Ramsey Orta found rat poison in his food, so he doesn’t trust prison meals, and is only eating pre-wrapped snacks from the commissary, 

WHEN they let him have access to the money on his books. 

They’re trying to break him and kill him, 

All because he filmed police killing Eric Garner.  

Don’t forget about Ramsey Orta and his family. 

This is the official page for information on his well-being and donation efforts. 

Just FYI, that page at ramseyorta.info hasn’t been updated since 2016. All the information is still correct and good, but the contact info for writing to Ramsey, donating money, visitation, etc. is outdated. He’s been moved to Franklin Correctional in Malone, New York. You can find more updated info here:
