🖤⚖✊🏿#ArtIsAWeapon Happening Now: The 2020 #CommitmentMarch On Washington, "Get Your Knee Off Our Necks" streaming https://nationalactionnetwork.net/commitment-march-on-washington-dc/ WE ARE MARCHING. On August 28th, 2020, on the Mall in Washington D.C., we are recommitting to the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. left unaddressed. This is a Commitment March, not a commemoration march, and we are marching for policing and criminal justice reform. Today is a chance for people around the nation to gather together to confront racial injustices in our police precincts and courthouses. We’ve been here before, but this time we know that it is necessary to redefine public safety in order to save Black lives. Whether they are rallying on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or from the safety of their homes and community streets, people are meeting this moment with demands and hope for change. Today is a day that all across the nation, in the midst of stacked pandemics – COVID-19 and racism – we address the national government and demand improved policing practices so that we stop the unwarranted killing and incarcerations of black people. We are in a historic moment in the country, where the confluence of TWO #PANDEMICS COVID-19 AND #POLICEBRUTALITY have uncovered the gross inequities that continue to persist in our society due to structural racism. It is time to redefine public safety to uproot systemic #racism, #inequity, and #whitesupremacy. As such we must vigorously engage in the democratic process through the ballot box and census as a mechanism to achieving transformation. To meet this moment, we propose encouraging #voterengagement and #censusparticipation as levers in support of the following agenda. #TAKEACTION #REGISTER TO VOTE #ANSWER THE CENSUS #BECOME A POLL WORKER Reposted from @officialmlking3 It has been 57 years since my father gave his "I Have a Dream" speech, but we still have so much justice to demand. We must demilitarize the police and dismantle mass incarceration. During tomorrow's Commitment March we will declare as determinedly as we can that #BlackLivesMatter. #BLM #SOCIALJUSTICE #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcPCpog2kr/?igshid=11nntbm1ptg88
