Bend it Like Beckham
from Dear Graham · host Adam Young
This podcast is about Bend it Like Beckham, but given the timing, we felt it was important to say the following: We recorded this podcast 2-3 weeks ago, before the deaths of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, and before Christian Cooper was accosted in Central Park. We don’t talk about any of this in this episode because of the when it was recorded but after recent events we at Dear Graham feel the need to make it clear that we believe Black lives matter, trans lives matter, and institutionalized racism exists in the United States and needs to be dismantled. We condemn police acts of violence against black and brown bodies. We encourage our listeners to join us in acknowledging and dismantling our own internalized racism, engage in our communities, and donate to causes which support these and other true and just goals, including but not limited to the following: local bailout funds, local Black Lives Matter groups, Bend The Arc (Jewish action), and the fundraisers for the families of George Floyd, Amaud Arbery and others murdered by the state and by white supremacy.
