Kira Ortoleva was best friends with 19 year-old Mubarak Soulemane, who was shot and killed by CT State Police just over one year ago, on January 15, 2020. Kira leads the Justice for Mubarak movement alongside Mubarak’s family.

Kira speaks on Mubarak and the friendship they shared; support for, and state repression against, the movement up to this point; abolition; and how folks can join the Justice for Mubarak movement.
