As the person who purchased blacklivesmatter.com 7+ years ago, so that we could have a way to communicate and coordinate our larger organizing efforts I’m in awe of the evolution and growth of the work. I see all kinds of people in every corner of the country sharing this message, and so many new people are showing up to protest and join the movement. But I’ve also always believed, deep in my bones, that people of conscience and courage are the majority. And if we could only be reminded of our own humanity and agency, then we might have a fighting chance to chart a different future. We need only look to the countless stories of brave acts throughout history, and from around the world. Stories of Indigenous resistance, to rebellions by enslaved Africans to more contemporary hunger strikes in immigration detention facilities to COVID-19 mutual aid efforts and beyond. Firsthand, I’ve witnessed people In the most dire of scenarios find ways to assert their humanity and demand justice against all odds. I have organized in many uphill battles - sometimes winning sometimes losing, but always knowing that our humanity is not up for negotiation. It will always be our duty to fight for justice. Our movement is not about trivial politics, this is about our very lives. When I see headlines like this I feel so proud of Us. The collective Us. The people who resist.The people who persist. People who behave like another world is possible. Reclaiming the narrative of what it means to be human, and love, and live well. Knowing our resistance is righteous and that we have a duty to build a world that reflects the best of who we are. We have a long way to go, but headlines like this remind me that we are making progress. I encourage you to take heart. And keep that same energy. #interdependenceday」7月5日 23時59分
