Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
Say their names.
Say their names because their murders are tragedies that all of America should be mourning right now.
Say their names because there are thousands more whose names never made the news, who have suffered and died at the hands of state violence.
Say their names until there is justice: Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
Our country is broken on many levels. We have a multi-tiered system of justice that punishes the white, the rich, and the privileged differently than people of color, the poor, and disenfranchised folks. It cannot continue this way, and it is incumbent on everyone who is ready, willing, and able to do what they can to build a more just and equitable future for all.
Our children deserve it.
Our country deserves it.
They deserve it: Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
It won’t be easy, but we need to take a stand and take action. We have been calling through the district to do check-in’s on people during these troubling times, and I have been getting a lot of requests from people on how to assist.
We put together a few resources that we will update regularly here: www.zinaforcongress.com/justice
