Today is #ahmaudarbery ‘s 26th birthday. Sunday is Mother’s Day. In #solidarity with his mother and with each other, those that care about #love and #justice, please #runwithmaud this weekend. BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH JUST TO RUN. GET INVOLVED in the fight by following @grassrootslaw and @shaunking to see that tougher hate crime legislation is passed when lawmakers return to the capitol in June and that we uncover why it took over TWO MONTHS for his murderers to be charged. There are higher ups that covered this up and they need to be held accountable or else institutionalized racism will not die. Really hope the man who shot the video, #WilliamBryan an accessory to murder, is also charged. THANK GOODNESS FOR WHISTLEBLOWERS or we’d never have seen the video. (Also, in case you can’t read what it says underneath #runwithmaud on the video, it says wear a mask unless you’re running super early when no one else is up yet!) @runwithmaud

Really glad to see gentrified Brooklyn showing up for black and brown people.
#knowyourhistory Looking through a great book of Revolutionary Art by #emorydouglas and being reminded of the root causes of the violence perpetrated by police and the rebellion that results in reaction. Follow the money. Slave patrols and night watches later became the legitimate police forces in this country: slave catchers hired by the wealthy. It is not a coincidence and should not shock anyone that modern policing harbors deeply racist attitudes and players given its origins. Looking forward to getting past the distractions and talking about the dismantling of institutionalized racism in the police force, demilitarization of police, training towards deescalation, getting rid of corrupt DA’s, bigoted police commissioners, weak enabling mayors, reforming of the police union, laws which protect cops from prosecution and prevent previous misconduct being made public, and the code of silence among cops which makes all cops look shitty when injustices take place. People are getting more and more agitated. I predict that we’ll all be talking a lot more about 2nd amendment rights going forward which clearly doesn’t apply to all Americans and which creates all kinds of weird power dynamics. These issues affect ALL Americans’ quality of life and I was really encouraged to see so many diverse faces protesting together yesterday in solidarity and in the pursuit of justice for #georgefloyd #justiceforgeorgefloyd #police #intersectionality #fascism #corporate #legacyofslavery #history #peace #love #activism #reparations #dignity #pride #revolution #vote #vote2020 #spaceexploration #exclusion #emorydouglas

#pridemonth is every June and is a celebration and commemoration in response to #policebrutality against the gay community during the #stonewall #riots in #newyork In the midst of awfulness, I have a lot of hope for the future having seen so many different kinds of people finally showing up for each other this past week in response to oppression. There is so much overlap in our various struggles. So often we are fighting the same fight even though the power structure convinces us otherwise by dividing and conquering us. Solidarity is not just a hashtag. Let’s keep on showing up and supporting each other. in·ter·sec·tion·al·i·ty /ˌin(t)ərsekSHəˈnalədē/ noun the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. “through an awareness of intersectionality, we can better acknowledge and ground the differences among us” #georgefloyd #intersectionality #gaypride #solidarity #lgbtq🌈 #isms #powertothepeople #corporate #takebackyourpower

There are many suspect tactics going on to sabotage peaceful dissent right now. I love the idea of amplifying black voices right now. That would be way more powerful. Also have to say it’s super weird that a bunch of celebrities- black and white- who’ve remained silent throughout have made the blackout Tuesday post their first direct response to the death of #georgefloyd Basically more silence. #copout #amplifymelanatedvoices #supportblackownedbusinesses Follow @grassrootslaw #georgefloyd
