This chapter explores police violence against Black women and the transformative potential of Black women's spiritual activism against police violence. The author interrogates the prevalence of police violence targeting Black cis and trans women like Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Layleen Xtravaganza Cubilette Polanco, and others. It highlights the precarity of Black women in the face of systemic oppression and delves into the intersectional perspectives offered by decolonial scholarship and activism. The chapter showcases how these frameworks provide crucial interventions with which to mobilize transformation and challenge the structures that perpetuate police violence. Through advocating for Black women's spiritual movements, community organizing, and decolonial practices, the chapter highlights the role of Afro-Latiné spiritual activism in collective action and social movements to challenge police violence and envision a future rooted in justice and liberation.
