Hello Beautiful people! We have the pleasure of welcoming Katrina Johnson to Everythang Culture.
Katrina Johnson is a commissioner, social justice organizer, advocate, and spokesperson for her family in June of 2017, after her first cousin Charleena Lyles was killed in her home in North Seattle after police officers responded to the location to investigate a burglary, Charleena had reported.
Katrina is a core member and executive director of Families are the Frontline. They provide rapid response to help families nationwide who have lost their loved ones to the police use of deadly force. Katrina works with other families who have lost loved ones to the use of deadly force in Washington state, as well as local nonprofits working to improve policy on the use of lethal force, emphasize de-escalation, reduce instances of deadly force, and improve police-community relations.
Katrina gathered signatures for I-940 and supported the resolution negotiated by De-Escalate WA and law enforcement leaders that resulted in House Bill 3003, modifying I-940 after it was adopted by the legislature. Katrina has been a guest speaker in various cities and states on police reform, served as a panelist in the Greater Seattle Area, nationally, and internationally on police reform and Washington state-sponsored violence.
