Ashley Yates lay curled in bed for days, paralyzed by the stresses of a life that she felt had chosen her as much as she’d chosen it. About 3 years earlier, the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, had spurred Ashley into activism. Today, she’s a @blklivesmatter organizer in Oakland, California. And late last year, she began to feel the pressures of a job that seems unrelenting: responding repeatedly to the deaths of black residents in communities across America, struggling to win policy reforms that would benefit black people and rallying others to support her causes. Ashley felt so depressed that she couldn’t get out of bed. A fellow activist, Erica Garner, died in December from a heart attack. She was 3 years shy of her 30th birthday. And as Ashley, 32, remembered Erica’s radicalism and youth, her problems with money and stress, she saw herself. “It’s absolutely scary,” she said. “It’s enough to make you want to quit.” Over the last 2 years, at least 5 young activists who gained national prominence amid the #BlackLivesMatter movement have died. With each fallen comrade, activists are left to ponder their own mortality and whether the many pressures of the movement contributed to the shortened lives of their colleagues. @christiehemmklok took this photo of Ashley Yates.
