Unfinished

(via deeplifequotes)

surrounded by white chalk, yellow caution tape, and three officers with black boots

I hear chants of pain, the cries of outrage, then I began to feel the warm tears pour from my mom’s face.

A local broadcast tells a story to boost its views as the officers will plead its procedure the community will see another life taken too soon,

another black life under twenty-five but to say my life mattered would make me a racist too,

so tell me how does it feel, knowing the victim’s description is similar to you ? if I move the wrong way I give the man every reason to shoot ? how would you feel to see your child plastered on the news ?

The numbers, in several cases, are astounding. 350.org, a climate action group, saw donations almost triple in the month after Donald Trump’s election. Since Trump’s win, Planned Parenthood told NPR it’s gained over 600,000 new donors and more than 36,000 new volunteers. And the American Civil Liberties Union has raised more than $80 million since Nov. 8.

Key players in what’s being called “The Resistance” — a vocal and growing progressive backlash to the Trump presidency — have been flooded with, and in some cases overwhelmed by an outpouring of money and volunteer support in the last few months. In many cases, these groups are struggling to keep up.
