The pair recently launched the initiative, #SprayTheirName
(@spraytheirname on insta) & they plans to take their project on the road
Ideally, they would like to travel to cities where these unjust murders have occurred
They’ll go wherever they’re called

They currently have an active GoFundMe campaign & a project like this is worthy of our support
