Operation Ghetto Storm
Every 28 Hours Report
Book •
Arlene Eisen produced 'Operation Ghetto Storm,' also known as the Every 28 Hours report, as research following the killing of Trayvon Martin to demonstrate that such murders and impunity were systemic rather than exceptional.
The report compiled data and analysis linking vigilante and police killings to structural racism and criminal justice failures, and the phrase 'Every 28 Hours' became a rallying hashtag within movements such as Black Lives Matter.
Eisen discusses the report's impact and continued relevance in highlighting persistent patterns of state and extra-state violence against Black communities.
While not a conventional trade book, it has circulated as an influential activist research document and is available through Eisen's website.
