UNARMED

UNARMED is an ongoing art project in memoriam of black victims of police violence. Its mission is to honor the fallen, work to change a system that should protect us, and hold those that harm us accountable. Founder Raafi Rivero created the first Unarmed jersey in 2013, not long after the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer. Each jersey is designed in the colors of a victim's local sports team. The jersey number is the person's age. Stars, if present, represent how many times the person was shot.
