say their names #blm

We mourn the loss of all those whose lives ended as a result of senseless brutality. We must use our platform to protest the death of these people: George Floyd Eric Harris Breonna Taylor Ahmaud Arbery Ezell Ford Alton Sterling Sean Bell Trayvon Martin Akai Gurley Eric Garner Terence Crutcher Tamir Rice Mike Brown Freddie Gray Alayna Stanley-Jones Philando Castille Rekia Boyd James Clark Walter Scott Korryn Gaines Sandra Bland Elisha Stanley Kimani Gray Sam Dubose Phillip White Dontrae Hamilton and all the others whose deaths have been kept silent. Black Lives Matter, today and every day. We stand in solidarity with Black communities as we again find ourselves anguished, angered, and compelled to action in response to the murders of George Floyd and Black people across the United States by police. Unless and until white America is willing to collectively acknowledge its privilege, take responsibility for its past and the impact it has on the present, and commit to creating a future steeped in justice, the list of names that George Floyd has been added to will never end. Please take this time to observe a moment of silence and respect for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, in honor of George Floyd, and all the others who should still be here with us today. Thank you. Black Lives Matter.
