Endorsing the PTPK Joy said "The life of our communities, and our own lives, dictate that we demand the freedoms that would protect us. We rely on organizing such as the Peoples Tribunal offers. An act of love and labor, this tribunal will evolve through a decade, unifying peoples across borders to staunch state violence and end the destabilizations that eviscerate our communities. We clash with repression in order to safeguard our communal agency which provides respect and reparations and resists militarized policing that inflicts dishonor and death."
