John,
Two videos. Two men. Two police responses on the streets of Kenosha,
Wisconsin.
In one video, a Kenosha police officer fires seven shots at point blank
range from behind 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a Black man, as he attempts to
enter a car.
In the second video, Kyle Rittenhouse, a white 17-year-old, approaches
officers shouldering an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle after shooting three
people. Four armored vehicles pass. No one stops Rittenhouse.
There is simply no way to deny the systemic racism that was laid bare in
Wisconsin. But it was there long before this incident. And it’s not just
embedded in the police force – it’s in our hospitals, board rooms,
schools, and every fiber of our nation’s DNA.
It will take a life-long commitment in each of us to not only fight to
dismantle systemic racism in our institutions, but also a life-long
journey of educating, listening, and taking action on anti-racism
ourselves. That’s why – during our final Feminist Futures webinar this
Thursday – we'll hear wisdom from elders and those passed on about
anti-racism work and reflect on them together.

The requirement of this moment (especially among white people) is to
commit to long-term work towards racial justice and to dismantle white
supremacy. Change will not happen overnight, but we cannot lose momentum
or rest. Anti-racist work requires a life long commitment whether it’s
trending on Twitter or not – we need marathon runners not just sprinters.
This session – led by the trainers at Race and Resilience – is
co-Sponsored by Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Moms Rising, Auburn Seminary,
United States of Women, Supermajority, MomsRising and UltraViolet.
Hope to see you there,
Caitlin Breedlove
