The police killing black women, men, & children is not a foreign subject in my community. My skin is viewed as a weapon to those who are meant to protest and serve. “Justice for ____” is a sentence, a curse, I’ve known since I was fourteen years old. Enough is enough. 
          
          Black lives matter. 
          Black women matter.
          Black men matter.
          Black children matter. 
          
          The thousands of black individuals murdered by police matter. 
          
          A reminder: being pro-black & supporting Black Lives Matter does not mean you are “anti” of anything else. 
          
          If you are protesting in your state: wear masks (to protect yourself from COVID and to protect your identity), do not wear loose clothing/jewelry/hair ties, do not go alone, & have an exit plan.
          
          I will link donation spots & bail funds below. Be safe, be vigilant, and to my black people — please take a breath. We’re okay, you’re okay. Please DM if you know of another organization that I can link below. Please DM me if you know of any other organization I can link below. Please DM if you are overwhelmed. Please DM me if you can’t sleep at night. 
          
          Black lives will forever matter.

In my country we have a saying that we say particularly during protests: "Amandla awethu!" It loosely translates to 'power to the people'. The more people stand together, the more likely it is that things will change for the better. 
            
            Take care of yourself SimplyBil.
