Another murder at the hands of the police. We have experienced this here at home and Black people around the country continue to be victims of the same crimes. Minneapolis is only the latest injustice and the simple firing of the police officers involved is definitely not enough. Most of these criminal police officers have gone unpunished as our families and communities remain frozen with grief and fear.

Who will be next?

Our voices must be heard and our protest must be strong. We are all affected by this continued attack on people of color and while we still struggle under the most repressive government in the history of this country we have to push back. We must send a united message that we will not be silent as federal, state and local governments attempt to normalize oppression and police assault on people and communities of color.
