End SARS is a decentralized social movement, and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police with a long record of abuses.
The protests which takes its name from the slogan started in 2017 as a Twitter campaigning using the hashtag #ENDSARS to demand the disbanding of the unit by the Nigerian government.
In addition to protests, petitions have been set up, and there are various ways to donate to protestors on the ground in Nigeria. We have a responsibility to stand in solidarity and stand in the face of injustice. Though you may be thousands of miles away from Nigeria, there are still practical ways to lend support.
The easiest way to support is to spread the news while educating yourself on the problem and the history. It is not an individual problem, but instead one product of the global struggle faced by black people.
