Of course, there are some, including Black people, who don't believe a separate alert is necessary because we already have the #AmberAlert .
Here's the thing, police regularly dismiss the pleas from Black, Indigenous Sisters and Brothers, and classify missing Black folks as runaways.

Abductors KNOW that concerned family members will go unheard and its why there are organizations that focus primarily on missing Black and Indigenous kids.
