As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.
“I’m not black but I see you” We want you to make sure you see us after this calms too. In courts fighting for justice, asking for action from you (the allies), in them emails asking for what’s fair, in creative rooms giving u our best, in this country built on us. With respect.
George Floyd’s murder is not only an outrage. It is the latest manifestation of a system that callously devalues the lives of Black people. Our struggle is and always has been about justice—not justice on paper, but real justice in the real lives of real people.
