    covchurch.org/justice/engage-and-respond #Repost @ covchurch.org/justice/engage-and-respond #Repost @dominiquedgilliard ・・・ I helped create a number of ways you—individually and communally—can engage and respond to the killing of #GeorgeFloyd, civil unrest sweeping our nation, and anti-black racism (link in bio).
    #Repost @colorofchange ・・・ #BreonnaTaylor, a #Repost @colorofchange ・・・ #BreonnaTaylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was in her home in Louisville, KY on March 13th when officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department barged in without a warning nor announcement and broke through her door, fired off more than 20 bullets, and ultimately took Breonna’s life. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, thought someone was burglarizing their home and fired his gun to defend himself. But in turn, the officers responded with a hail of bullets and turned an average morning into a tragedy. The police were at the wrong house. There was no search warrant that gave them the right to be there in the first place. Despite the clear and egregious misconduct of the police officers, Kenneth Walker is being charged with attempted murder and the murderers who killed Breona Taylor are walking free without any consequences. Instead of being transparent about their fatal misconduct, the police and commonwealth attorney conspired to make it look like this was a routine drug raid. LMPD even continued to falsely refer to Breonna as a “suspect” in the media for weeks though she had done nothing wrong. A recent lawsuit filed against the officers reveals that police were actually searching for another person more than 10 miles away, who had already been arrested that morning. This is an affront to Black people, our communities, and Breonna’s family. They are charging her boyfriend with a crime to cover up, distract, and deflect from the fact they murdered a young Black woman in cold blood. All too often, Black women face police harassment and violence at the hands of bloodthirsty racist cops who see no value in Black lives. Breonna, her boyfriend, and their families deserve more. We’re calling for the three police officers, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove, to be fired and for all charges against Kenneth Walker to be dropped immediately. These officers are threats to our communities and as long as they’re allowed to wear badges Black people are not safe. Text ENOUGH to 55156 to take action! #JusticeForBre #justiceforbreonnataylor

Livestream starting TODAY, 7pm EST. More details re: the protest here: https://thekingcenter.org/onlineprotest. One way to engage... Let’s do it. We all can do our part. For #GeorgeFloyd, for #BreonnaTaylor, for #AhmaudArbery, for a continuum of justice, which #MLK said is “Power correcting everything that stands against Love.”
    #Repost @austinchanning ・・・ The photos of of #Repost @austinchanning ・・・ The photos of officers kneeling and marching and hugging are nice. The video of officers giving good speeches and becoming emotional are moving. BUT. Friends, we are not going to hug our way to justice. This fight is not about police being nicer. This fight is about systemic racism, injustice, accountability. The cute pictures won’t do. *Policy change. *Defunding. *Abolition *Prosecution These are examples of the deep changes that are being called for right now. This is what it looks like to fight for Black lives in this moment. If you don’t want this to happen again, we are going to need more than hugs. *PS: when you do see the “nice” officers; don’t ask for hugs, ask for courage. Courage to change a system that hurts Black people.
