You were found in unmarked graves
Acts of genocide
Your precious lives taken
With spirits so strong
we heard your cries
To go home
Rest well little ones
And fly high with our ancestors
We will not forget you
You are sacred

I wrote my arguments for y'all in an op-ed for HuffPo:
"If we truly want to effect change that could stop police killings of Black people, we must have a conversation about defunding the police"

We can't go back to business-as-usual after the #COVID19 pandemic. That's why we're building a movement for a #JustRecoveryforAll that puts people first. Let’s demand a #JustRecovery so we can #BuildBackBetter https://t.co/QAfG4g7ZaK

"Sometimes, change must happen through people throwing themselves against and beyond the boundaries of the law, pushing those limits beyond what is legal towards what they believe is just. That process will be discomfiting and disruptive." https://t.co/0kPyboSRG9 #unistoten
Ugh, the hypocrisy is both infuriating and numbing indeed "...it’s disturbing in a different way to watch leaders pretend to care – a kind of gaslighting that can reduce you to numb nihilism." #KeepItInTheGround
