Why this petition matters

Mikayla Miller was an innocent black sixteen year old girl who identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community. She had dreams to attend an HBCU, and to study journalism. She loved basketball.

On April 17, 2021, in Hopkinton MA, her life was cut short. 

There are several theories as to what happened to her, ranging from her having been jumped on and lynched, to some saying she committed suicide. 

And yet, we still can't even say for sure what really happened to her. Therein lies the problem: there hasn't been a full investigation yet, and Mikayla's family doesn't know what happened.

When the police found Mikayla's body, they didn't log her death as suspicious, even though the investigation is still open. In fact, her mother was told that if she went to the media about this, Mikayla's sexuality would be exposed. Despite that, Mikayla's mother has spread word about this through the media and has gained much support. 

Mikayla was a child. She never deserved this. Her family doesn't deserve this, nor do her friends, teammates, or fellow classmates.  

We need a private investigation by the FBI to find out what really happened to Mikayla. With this in mind, we do need to remember that she is more than a gossip story. We shouldn't forget about how she lived while obsessing over the details of her death. Remember that she was a human being, just like all of us, and there are people grieving for her who don't know what happened to her. This petition is so that her family and loved ones can finally get the answers they deserve.
