We support #BlackLivesMatter because we support humanity. We're all one people---black + brown people should not have to look out for themselves any more than white. Racism + discrimination suck. Police officers that murder or attack innocent civilians should be held accountable.

The violence, looting, and destruction are wrong, but the message is sound and clear. People are angry. Black people should not have to ask for fair treatment. Yet here we are once again.

You don't have to be out on the street to lend your voice. Sign a petition, speak up on social media, donate, learn, educate, + support the black people who simply want to live w/out fear of getting killed for doing the same thing a white person can do w/out second thought.

Also, if you're going to go out and protest, remember we're still in a pandemic. Wear a mask, keep your distance, and fight the power (peacefully!).

Let's not let our black + brown fellow people be killed for nothing. #BlackLivesMatter
