We stand in solidarity with the protestors in Minneapolis.
We have to recognize that no actions other than impotent words and pleading would be seen as legitimate by this imperialist-white supremacist-capitalist-patriarchal system. It is the duty of all those who enjoy privilege and who hold freedom and human dignity as moral absolutes to stand up and be counted amongst our brothers, sisters, and siblings in struggle. It is imperative that we stand and exclaim that Black Lives Matter. Because in this day and age, no matter how much the opposition loves to yell otherwise, this system does not treat all lives as if they do matter.
We say Black Lives Matter because of George Floyd.
We say Black Lives Matter because of Ahmaud Arbery.
We say Black Lives Matter because of Breonna Taylor.
We say Black Lives Matter because of Dreasjon Reed.
We say Black Lives Matter for every black person who has been the victim of this system of oppression for over 400 years.
