i’ve signed 90+ petitions over the past 4 days. it took me 2 minutes at most to sign 10 in one sitting. there are no excuses for not signing these petitions. it’s not hard.
I’ll just say it: a lot of politicians are scared of the political power of the police,and that’s why changes to hold them accountable for flagrant killings don’t happen. That in itself is a scary problem.
We shouldn’t be intimidated out of holding people accountable for murder.
Say their names.
Remember the reason they died: for living while black.
Remember the officers responsible.
Keep the conversation going beyond a retweet.
Have it reflect in your voting, have it reflect in your relationships.
This isn’t new.
We are responsible.
Say their names.
If you aren’t standing with, you are essentially standing against- just think about the amount of privilege it takes to simply remain quiet. This is on us.
