#standdownlive

Peace and Plenty of it Every Wednesday at 4pmCST I co-host a live stream dubbed #standdownlive On the @veteransforpeace YouTube and Facebook pages. We have just completed our half a year mark with our 26th week in a row. Our guests have been wide ranging and diverse in their sociopolitical ideologies and approaches to peace, justice and human rights. We started this series in response to the national/international uprising for Black Life which reached a fever pitch as #georgefloyd was murdered by police while Everybody was at home watching on TV due to #covid and the then news of #breonnataylor made it to the public ♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼 Love and blessings and peace to their families #restinpower to all our beautiful kings and queens snatched from us too early. On yesterday's edition of the show we spoke candidly and at length with friends and representatives of the family of Gregory Edwards. A combat medic veteran who while suffering from a #PTSD episode was detained, arrested, confined, tortured and ultimately murdered by the Sheriff's department in Brevard County, FL.

#intersectionality makes sense in this modern era where globalization and capitalism and multi national corporations have made our world smaller for their gain we can use the pain felt by our disparate brothers and sisters our diaspora cousins and uncles and aunts our desperate planet and non human relatives as a rallying cry to unify and unite in a spark so bright it's light will be worshipped as the new son in a few millennia. ..
