Showing Up and Speaking Up
You have undoubtedly seen the events unfold over the weekend across the country from Seattle to Louisville. The deaths of David McAtee, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery are tragic and further examples of the over-policing and targeting of Black communities.
