White people often stay quiet on racism because they feel it's not their place to speak up.

Just as sexism is not only a "women's issue," racism is not only a "black issue."

Now is not the time for silence. We all have a responsibility to raise our voices against injustice.

The US has lost at least:

--100 transit workers
--30 grocery store workers
--30 healthcare workers

These are the unsung heroes of this pandemic.
