Hi, everyone. I have several friends south of the border who are dear to me. I hope that they are safe - that during these fucked up times, that they can live their lives without being profiled or targeted by the police. (1/x)
But today I realized that's the way they've been living every day for their whole lives. Police aren't suddenly just more violent or antsy. The bias was already there. They were in danger before. (2/x)
I selfishly posted my own music today to try and not put my head into this. To stay apolitical and keep things light. But I can't be silent anymore. I have to let the world know that there's at least one more voice of support. I care about you. (3/x)
I encourage others to do the same. If you don't know someone in danger, then stand for the friends of your friends who are. Behind every hashtag or outcry is a person who hasn't been heard. Hasn't been listened to. Has been treated like their problems are imaginary. (4/x)
I leave this thread open to others who would like to do the same. And rather than use my voice to push my own products and my own music for a while, I am going to help boost the voices of those who need to be heard instead. (5/5)
