Assata's Daughters was founded in March 2015 by Page May in order to protest against the lack of response to Eric Garner's death. Centered in Chicago, Assata's Daughters is named after controversial Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur. The organization is part of a cluster of Black activist organizations known as the Movement for Black Lives. Assata's Daughters has worked to speak out against police militarization, immigrant deportation, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and President Donald Trump.
