To the studios spending gobs of money on diversity talkbacks and Juneteenth virtual conferences today. You know what you should do instead? Greenlight the movies of great black filmmakers, young & old, give them the resources to see them through properly and stay out of the way.

We call for an END to systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken. See the demands. Sign the petition. #DefundThePolice#blacklivesmatter https://t.co/JYe7JSmYuP
