I’m going to ask you to do something uncomfortable.

Imagine it was your child who was murdered, because of the color of his/her skin.

Imagine the killer goes unpunished.

Breaking windows and looting is a symptom of enormous generational pain.
Society didn’t listen when athletes took knee

Society didn’t listen to the excruciating screams of mothers of murdered children.

Society didn’t listen to sobs of siblings.

Broken windows and looting finally get people to pay attention.
It’s the desperate act of those marginalized for generations.

Not understanding is a position of privilege.

Imagine living in fear, an air freshener could trigger a chain of events that lead to your child’s death.
