“It is important that we recognize that the systematic oppression that continues to marginalize our communities is not an accident. America was built on a system that is still doing its job.”––@AalayahEastmond, Parkland Survivor & @bradybuzz activist.

The @FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” Are you surprised by their stat?

Most white Americans don’t even have one close friendship with a person of color. Due to this continuing societal segregation, most Americans are removed from the issues facing Black communities, making American organizations ill equipped to settle these problems.

Thank YOU for speaking out and continuing all of your hard work.

@thesparkdoc Thanks

Just as it’s been in place for years, systemic racism will take years to undo, but we have to start somewhere. The first step to take is understanding what systemic racism is, how it got here, and how it benefits you. Then take action to undo it. Retweet to spread the word.

“Instead of trying to turn police into social workers, maybe we should just hire social workers.”––Alex Vitale, sociologist

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Alex. Learn more about community support systems and the reallocation of police funds: https://t.co/dgCIiQ9Nev.

Think racial inequality is an overhyped myth? Think again. The @splcenter reports otherwise. They also found that Neo-Nazi groups are up 22% and anti-Muslim groups rose for a 3rd straight year. What will you do to change those statistics in 2021? #ReplyTweet and let us know. 👇

@zellieimani Congrats!

“Every societal failure, we put it off on the cops to solve. Policing was never meant to solve all those problems.”––David Brown, former Dallas police chief. Watch Spark in full: https://t.co/dgCIiQ9Nev

As the nation debates whether police departments should be defunded, there is an opportunity to reallocate police duties and funding. 59% of people agree police departments need a major or complete overhaul, yet 2-to-1, citizens disagree with defunding the police. Watch:

When police unions cover for rogue cops, they encourage bad behavior in borderline cops & tarnish the reputations of good cops. It’s time not only to change the style of policing in Black and brown communities, but in turn upgrade the profession as well. https://t.co/dgCIiQ9Nev
