John --
George Floyd couldn’t breathe. We can’t either.
We live in fear. Fear of walking outside. Wearing a hoodie. Going for a jog. Sleeping in our own home. Existing.
Every day, a new hashtag.
Every hour, a new injustice.
Every second, more pain.
We don’t deserve to live like this -- and we continue to fight until white supremacy no longer permeates every corner of this country -- until we can live full lives -- freely.
Today, we remember George Floyd. And we remember every other Black life lost to police brutality, racial injustice, and white supremacy. Together, we fight for justice and #SayTheirNames. Please watch our next video and share on social. Keep the fight for justice alive.
Every single Black life matters. From the neighborhoods of Sanford to the streets of Minneapolis and everywhere in between.
No matter who we are, no matter where we’re from, no matter what we do -- we matter.
George Floyd was not the first. And until there are no more -- the battle continues. Once again and always, we fight for justice.
George Floyd -- like every hashtag before him -- deserved to live. We must #SayHisName and #SayTheirNames until we can breathe. Until we can live.
Our lives have value, and the fight continues until every single human knows: Black Lives Matter.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter Global Network
