"I see your hate, and raise you One Love." - Keaton
Keaton Farris, 25 years old, died of dehydration
and malnutrition at Island County Jail, Coupeville WA, on April 7 2015. |
We, Keaton's family and friends, have created this site in order to do whatever we can to ensure that no one has to go through the nightmare we are experiencing. That no one has to live knowing that someone they love was treated the way Keaton was treated.
Here, you will find much about Keaton's story, including the initial investigative report by the Sheriff's office. As more information and news come our way, we will share them on this site. We hope that you will join us in this important work of creating fundamental changes. As we gather momentum, there will be more and more ways for you to play a big role. Please see some calls to action below. |

On June 21, many of us gathered in Coupeville to make sure the town and its officials knew that we would not stand quietly about this. Video by Kaya Maraya Silkiss-Hero
