Not My Son The organization Not My Son was essentially born out of the tear gas that flew almost a year ago at Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, as protestors clashed with police days after Floyd’s death. “It was the straw that broke America’s back,” said founder, Tramonica Brown. His death was the catalyst that brought her and so many protestors to the streets of Dallas. She formed the organization on June 2, 2020, when she witnessed protestors being shot with rubber bullets and tear gas during last summer’s protests. “I didn’t want to see anybody’s babies get hurt with rubber bullets,” said Brown, who is both a mother and an educator. “It originally started with a group of teachers. No one protects more I think their moms and teachers.”
