Sasha Johnson
Sasha Johnson (born c. 1993–1994) is a British woman who has been an activist and member of Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP). A student of Ruskin College, she was involved in the Rhodes Must Fall protest, and with Black Lives Matter and Kill the Bill protests.
On 23 May 2021, Johnson was shot in the head at a party in the early hours. Two days later, five men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, one of whom was later charged with conspiracy to murder while the others were released on bail. A second man was charged on 12 June and two further men were charged on 17 June with conspiracy to murder. The four men were scheduled to stand trial in March 2022 but the trial was abandoned in February 2022; the defendants were formally found not guilty when the prosecution offered no evidence.
Johnson's mother is Ellet Dalling and she has a sister.
Johnson studied in community development and youth work from Ruskin College. Prior to the shooting, Johnson ran a restaurant and volunteered for food insecurity initiatives. She worked in community activism and support, and was previously a youth worker.
Johnson has two sons.
Johnson campaigned for the Oxford Rhodes Must Fall campaign. She participated in the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. In response to a counter-protest which included a right-wing presence with the stated intention of protecting war memorials, Johnson told The Guardian: "We're painted as thugs when the real thugs are disguised as protecting those memorials. And when they're drunk, they piss on those memorials." In August 2020, Johnson was an organiser for the Million People March, an anti-racist demonstration in London attended by around 400 people. In March 2021, Johnson was co-signatory to a statement alleging that police were targeting some black protesters who participated in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests by name, including by repeated phone calls, to deter them from engaging in Kill the Bill protests.
In summer 2020, Johnson was involved in the founding of the Taking The Initiative Party (TTIP); she has served on its Executive Leadership Committee. Sky News reported that the party was registered with the Electoral Commission around 2017. The party supports the decentralised Black Lives Matter movement but is unaffiliated with the specific organisation Black Lives Matter. Though the party considered running for the 2021 London mayoral election (originally scheduled for 2020) under the name "Black Lives Matter for the GLA", its first candidates for office stood in the May 2021 local elections.
In 2020 and 2021, false information circulated on social media that Johnson commented "the white man will not be our equal but our slave" on Twitter. The account in question was impersonating Johnson and suspended by Twitter.
