CW: Black ppl murdered by police

Black Iowans total 22% of all people shot and killed in the state by on-duty police since Jan. 1, 2015.

It's still defund the police.

This morning, the Black Children’s Memorial was burned down. It’s hard for us to believe that this was not done intentionally against us and the Black children and femmes we have honored there.
Help us rebuild the memorial & bring red, yellow and purple flowers to 1601 6th Ave.

.@IAGovernor’s Back the Blue bill was designed to discourage and criminalize protests under the guise of defending police.
Our voices won’t be silenced and our movement won’t be stopped. Not by the governor, not by the city council. Not until we achieve Black liberation.

My name is Ras Smith and I am running for Governor because I believe that Iowa’s greatest days are ahead of us. (1/7)

I don't know how much real talk can be had about race if the black elites are the only ones leading these discussions
