And if you’re reading this, sign this petition. now. you have no reason not to at all. Help demand justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the countless other (unnamed, unfilmed and unheard) victims, and help dismantle the systems in place that oppress black ppl and poc, but especially the first.

Do not put that video on my dash of that man being murdered by cops. Do not put that video on anybody’s dashboard, timeline, feed, whatever. Do NOT post multiple screenshots either. It’s the same thing.

Call your own white friends out and then resist the urge to tell the Internet how good of an ally you are. Just be good humans and don’t spread traumatic imagery.
