What an honor to have the opportunity to be apart of something so monumental! Hearing all the speakers and @real_sharpton give their messages and their demands for change was such an inspiring feeling. Listening to the families speak about their loved ones who’s lives were taken at the hands of those officers really makes you think about the changes we need to see in America. . . . #nanmow2020 #nojusticenopeace #blm #blacklivesmatter #melanin #washingtondc #saytheirnames #commitmentmarch2020 #jacobblake #breonnataylor #marchonwashington #history #georgefloyd #mikebrown #demandchange #inspired (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcl8vBnF9Z/?igshid=1fyzl974f0307
This image has been in my head for a while, but after attending the George Floyd protest on Monday. I knew I had to do it now. I seen beautiful people of all races standing up to police for the unjust treatment of black lives. It was surreal to me, but it also reminded me that there are quite a few people who refuse to acknowledge that this is even a problem. So this piece is specifically for you… time to wake up. Because honestly the rest of us are very tired. Tired of racism, police brutality, and all the systems that support these things. I’m a fan of addressing problems at their root. Police violence toward black people is a byproduct of white supremacy and racism. Please do what you can to stand up against it. #blacklivesmatter justice for #breonnataylor #georgefloyd #ahmaudarbery #tamirrice #mikebrown #trayvonmartin #sandrabland #johncrawford #ericgarner #rekiaboyd #ayannajones
20th of March, 2022. It’s been 736 days since Breonna Taylor was killed by the LMPD & Brett Hankinson, Jonathan Mattingly & Miles Cosgrove haven’t faced charges or been arrested for her death.
Burn out The Darkess Bring in the Light! This is one of the Most beautiful photos that I’ve ever seen.❤️❤️ I stand with each and every one of my people that has had their life ripped away from them because of the color of their skin, .
Remember
‘Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.
To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.”
You can see all of my thoughts leave my brain at some point #airhead but anyway!! Corporations can’t really be in “solidarity” when capitalism benefits them either way you flip the coin… what they CAN do, is make a POWERFUL statement and advocate for change by opening their massive wallets and redistributing that wealth into the same communities they pillage—also to apply PRESSURE on the necks of the local government officials #SWIPE to see my favorite joke about one of the very few companies I actually respect. I wish they had more vegan options!!! . . . #georgefloyd #defundthepolice #acab #breonnataylor #ninapop #blm #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #benandjerrys #endcapitalism #buyblack #revolution #dismantlewhitesupremacy (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDnq_gAQY_/?igshid=r9dn2v3fczh8
Y'all with me or y'all scared??? Cause I’m not talking about marching nor yelling through megaphones. Change begins within. That means the plans have to change. The formula must change. The method must change. Because EVERYTHING that has been done in the past didn’t work. Time has passed. It didn’t work. The era has changed, but the fight is the same. That means that we are more knowledgeable about the battle. The tactics can be reprogrammed to fit the narrative along with the weapons that we now possess.
Busting windows out of insured businesses isn’t bringing attention to injustice. It’s creating avenues for the rich to continue to sit home and profit without work while more blacks are being hurt and becoming casualties in a one sided war.
We are becoming mascots and cheerleaders for our own deaths while continuously listening to degrading music penned by the brothers and sisters who should be supporting and rebuilding their own communities.
Each day, a black community is being infiltrated by whites and they are giving you free paint and brushes to garnish former trap houses and plant gardens while they move their 501c organizations into your grandmother’s old home and build their grandeur mansions into the vacant lots. These are properties that you’ll never be able to afford.
Your ‘hood’ is no longer a safehaven for you because your son, sister, Aunt, husband, nephew, daughter, Uncle, and wife now look suspicious when walking because the predator is now pretending to be afraid so that they can have you legally ejected from your habitats.
Neighbors are killing us out of fabricated fear while law enforcement officers are killing us out of fabricated protection.

I am writing on behalf of Breonna Taylor. We demand that John Mattingly, Detective Brett Hankison, and Detective Myles Cosgrove are fired immediately and charged with manslaughter and negligence. We demand that a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate the Louisville Police Department immediately. We demand that a special session be convened to ban no-knock warrants immediately. We demand justice for Breonna Taylor.
You cannot shoot an innocent civilian and call it a “clerical error” – we will not have it. We demand that you appoint a special prosecutor to immediately investigate the Louisville police department. JUSTICE FOR BREONNA.
