Leading anti-racism protester Sasha Johnson shot in head in London, her political party says

An activist who has played a leading role in antiracism demonstrations in Britain is in critical condition after being shot in London, her political party says.

The Taking the Initiative Party says Sasha Johnson was shot in the head on Sunday. It said Johnson, who played a leading role in Black Lives Matter protests last year, had received "numerous death threats." The recently founded Taking the Initiative Party said Johnson, a member of its executive leadership committee, was "a strong, powerful voice for our people and our community."
