Johnetta Elzie Biography

Johnetta "Netta" Elzie is a civil rights activist. She is one of the leaders in the activist group We The Protesters and co-edits the Ferguson protest newsletter This Is the Movement with fellow activist DeRay Mckesson.

Elzie became involved in activism following the shooting of Michael Brown. On August 9, 2014, via Twitter, Elzie learned of Brown's death and that his body was left for hours in the street a short distance from her own childhood home. Mourning the recent death of her own mother, Elzie drove to the site of Brown's death and began tweeting about the scene she encountered. She became involved in protests and in organizing volunteers and donations, as well as in continuing to document events.

Elzie has been active in the Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland protests and she, with Mckesson and data scientist Samuel Sinyangwe, created "Mapping Police Violence", which collected data on people killed by police during 2014.

The Los Angeles Times has named Elzie to its list of "The new civil rights leaders: Emerging voices in the 21st century." The New York Times profiled Elzie and McKesson as leaders of the group that built "the nation's first 21st-century civil rights movement." In January 2015 The Atlantic named her one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

As well, Elzie has been a field organizer for Amnesty International, and has volunteered with a girls' group called the Sophia Project in St. Louis.
