Privilege Says:
“It’s horrible #GeorgeFloyd was murdered, but destroying property has to stop.”
Anti-Racism Says:
“It’s horrible that property is being destroyed, but the murder of Black men has to stop.”
A worthwhile reflection.

We recommend that any Minnesotan who has attended a protest, vigil, or community clean-up get tested for #COVID19. If you start to feel sick, get tested right away. If you do not feel sick, get tested as soon as you can, but no later than 5-7 days after the event. (1/2)
Physician/healthcare friends. Have you heard that health care workers are planning to kneel for 10 minutes on Friday June 5, 2020 10am PST/ 12 noon CST/ 1pm EST
Are any of your hospitals/institutions organizing anything?

An incredible scene here at the makeshift memorial where #GeorgeFloyd died. Somebody brought a piano and one after another people played. Brought us all together in song.
On June 1, Iyanna Dior, a black transgender woman, was attacked in the Twin Cities. Black trans women are attacked far too often across Minnesota. It is an epidemic and it must be stopped. No one should have to live in fear of violence because of who they are.
Went to support medical students silent protest at medical examiners office . 8 min silence was done at the end . Rain started pouring as the silence started and stopped when we were done , God was crying with us . #solidarity#whitecoats#ChangeTheSystem#DreamTeam@UMNCUHCC

For leaders enforcing a curfew, what plans are in place to protect ppl experiencing homelessness (yet another crisis disproportionately facing Black Americans)?
Genuinely wondering. Feel free to share what you see here.
Without a plan, the homeless will be subject to violence.
I know a lot of folks are wishing everyone would get on to positive things and stop perseverating on racism and the recent killings of unarmed black people.
Trust me—we’ve been wishing that for centuries now. Please allow yourselves to be uncomfortable and disrupted, too.
