Look for follow up post on how and why the narrative will be changing. Lipstick on a pig, still a pig.
Staying the Distance Dear RET Community,
As we reflect this week on George Floyd’s life and legacy, the #BlackLivesMatter movement becoming the largest movement in U.S. history and galvanizing millions to end state-sanctioned violence, and witnessing D. Chauvin being found guilty, we share a quote we posted last year in June, from Alicia Garza, Principal at Black Futures Lab and Co-Founder of Black Lives Matter:
“Ending police violence is a long game. It takes organizing. Protest to up the ante. Public and private pressure. Electoral organizing strategies. Telling new stories about us and what we are fighting for. … We gotta stop looking for easy answers and instead join the hard work… This is a marathon that no one wants to run.” We believe in our collective strength to dismantle the system of white supremacy and systemic racism. We believe in our radical imagination to dream a just liberatory future. We believe transformation is possible through our interconnected and movement building community work, our enduring commitment to racial justice, and our love and compassion for our shared humanity.
