As I process the recent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade and the current state of our nation, I cannot be silent. (And that’s only a drop in the bucket.) I hope that as you process what you see that you honor the lives of those that were murdered by the oppressive systems our nation has built.
I hope that you honor them by speaking out against racism, by educating yourself and others, and by amplifying the voices that need to be heard using any platform or privilege you have. If you are able, donate. Donate your time, your money, your talents.
I’m not going to do this perfectly, but I am going to do it. We as humans are called to love. To love not just the people who look like us, but to love everyone.
I will never understand what it feels like to be a person of color in the United States of America, but I stand with you all.
Black lives matter. Black lives matter. Black lives matter.
