Enough SAID 490 African-American Challenge

Enough SAID 490 African-American Challenge To educate and empower African American Women by bringing awareness and resources to support those who have been silenced by sexual assaults. Our mothers.

Enough SAID (Enough Sexual Assault in Detroit) was formed to raise money for the scientific testing of these evidence kits, as well as the investigation and prosecution of these forgotten crimes. Each r**e kit costs $490 to process. Economic constraints in Detroit and Wayne County mean we cannot bring these criminals to justice without the donations of individuals and philanthropic organizations.

The Enough SAID campaign is an independent collaboration by the Michigan Women's Foundation, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and the Detroit Crime Commission. The goal of this collaboration is to raise private-sector funding to test these r**e kits, investigate the crimes and prosecute the resulting cases, thus securing justice and closure for victims and ensuring a safer community for everyone. The estimated cost is $10 million. So far, funds have been raised to process 10,000 of the 11,341 kits---meaning we still need half a million dollars to finish the tests. But the fight for justice is far from over; the other major expense of this effort will be investigating and prosecuting the assailants who are identified. The great majority of the victims of these unsolved crimes are black women. Our sisters. Our daughters. Our neighbors. Our aunts. Our cousins. Our friends. Women who look and live like us.
