I’ll do my best. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ George Floyd did not deserve to die. In the past, I’m shied away from extreme videos because of how greatly it disturbs and pains me. I knew it was time to put those feelings aside. That ten minute video was horrific. I cannot scrub it from my mind. George was begging for breath. Those officers continued. He lost consciousness. Bystanders begged for help. George’s pulse could not be found. Through it all. They continued. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve been listening to George’s family, friends and employer’s accounts of the kind man that he was. A man that loved people, loved to dance. That George had found a new life in Minneapolis, that it had come to feel like home. I look at photos of him and his daughter. This one above, shared by his friend, “Twin” Stephen Jackson. I wanted to know more about George, hold him in my heart. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Videos are exposing unconscionable, hateful, racist crimes against humanity. They are happening, whether cameras are there to record them or not. There are deeply rooted, systemic issues at play. There is work to do. ⁣ ⁣⁣ People are in pain. They are asking to be heard, for change. I don’t want to succumb to the thinking that nothing can or will change. I want to believe that progress can be made. I am inspired by each and every person that is raising their voice, committing to solidarity, showing up, donating, asking for more than this. Not just in our country but worldwide. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I will continue to listen, read, donate, make calls, sign. I pledge to do work to deepen my understanding, be an ally. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This must be a continued effort. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sending love. ⁣⁣ Some organizations that I’m following + supporting + donating to here: ⁣⁣ @blackvisionscollective @mnfreedomfund⁣⁣ @bailproject @naacp ⁣⁣@antiracismctr @campaignzero ⁣⁣」6月1日 3時32分
