These Erica Garner Tributes Show Just How Many People She Inspired

The daughter of Eric Garner, a man who died after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer in 2014, passed away Saturday at the age of 27. Her death comes less than a week after the activist was hospitalized and placed in a medically induced coma upon suffering a heart attack triggered by a severe asthma attack over the holiday weekend. Upon hearing of her death, her family, friends, and fans paid tribute to Erica Garner on Twitter.

Garner was left in critical condition after an asthma attack sent her into cardiac arrest on Dec. 23 and left her with major brain damage due to a lack of oxygen. According to the New York Daily News, this was the second heart attack the young mother of two had suffered in her life. Garner reportedly suffered her first heart attack shortly after delivering her son, who she named after her father, earlier this year.

Garner became an outspoken activist against police brutality and racial justice following the death of her father in July 2014. A New York City police officer placed him in a chokehold after stopping the 43-year-old for illegally selling cigarettes. Video footage of the incident showed him repeatedly telling officers "I can't breathe" before he died.

Since then Garner has lent her voice to the Black Lives Matter movement and the 2016 presidential campaign for Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders. She has challenged city officials and government leaders to stand up against police brutality and has also advocated for racial justice and an end to institutionalized racism.
