Hunger Striking Black Mom Seeks Answers in Son’s Death

This is not a cold case.” We speak with Dannielle Brown, a Black woman who has been on hunger strike for two months demanding answers about her son Jaylen’s death. According to police, he jumped out of a dorm room in front of multiple officers and campus security at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh in October 2018. Ms. Brown says it’s a “cover up”.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.

We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.

People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.

We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
