Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.
Thank you to every single organizer, protester, activist and good troublemaker who took to the streets this summer to remind America that the pandemic of racist state violence is deadly. This wasn’t “the system” working. It was y’all working. We are in your debt.
