The Highly Suspicious Death of Jelani Day Feat. Mother Carmen & Brother Seve Day
Today, we are joined by very special guests Carmen Bolden Day and her son, Seve Day to discuss the tragic death of their son and brother Jelani JJ Day. Jelani was multitalented, well-liked, compassionate, and he had a bright future ahead of him. Sadly, Jelani’s life was cut short - he went missing on August 24th, 2021. His body was found in the Illinois River almost two weeks later. Carmen, Seve and their family are demanding Justice for Jelani - but almost 2 years after his life was cut short, they still have more questions than answers from the Peru Police Department.

Sample of what to say:
I am calling on behalf of Jelani Day. We demand that the Jelani Day joint task force thoroughly investigate the disappearance and death of Jelani Day. We demand a public apology from the chief of police from Bloomington, Peru, and La Salle city for not effectively working together in finding key elements in the disappearance and death of Jelani Day. Jelani Day was a 25-year-old man with limitless potential. Our world lost an incredible person, and we demand justice. Take accountability for the actions that you did not take to help find what happened to Jelani Day.
