Pint Size Protesters

The art of protest is not new to Jamille and Jebel, founders of Pint Size Protesters. It began in 2014, when Jamille, Jebel, and Zuli (who was just 10 weeks old at the time), took to the streets of New York City to protest the murders of Mike Brown, LaQuan McDonald, and Eric Garner who all died at the hands of police in 2014.

Fast forward to the 2020 murder of George Floyd when Jamille, Jebel, and Zuli, who was now 6 years old, took to the streets again in Columbus OH, where they now call home. This time even more enraged that 6 years later, they were still fighting the very same fight for justice.

While Jamille and Jebel felt safe protesting with their child in downtown Columbus, OH, the city’s hub for all protest activity, they recognized that many families may not feel the same safety, but were equally enraged and looking for a way to get involved. Thus Pint Size Protesters was born! What began as a small “what if” idea in Jamille’s mind has grown into an online community of over 400 families with varying backgrounds, from all parts of the Columbus metro area (and beyond!) sharing ideas and resources about engaging kids in anti-racism and activism.
