We all matter it's just a matter of time and principles that will govern to whether we will succumb to these atrocities. #zimbabweanlivesmatter #wemattertoo #wematter✊🏾 @julius_s_malema @akaworldwide (at Zimbabwe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDdjo_LJ_Bh/?igshid=16r5qtxfuxd5y

Youwanttheworldinyourimage
To you who I care for:
You are strong and beautiful,
But this misery
You push it on me,
And so...
From her - her weight worries her, she doesnt understand that she is beautiful. She does not need to hear how stress and pain has made you thin.
From him - he loves you, why do you make him suffer? Taking him away from those he cares for because you need him more, romantic love is not all there is and others are there to support you.
From her - She is hurting, she has lost someone close to her, see that there is more beyond your pain. She wants to help you through this but don't hurt her more in the process.
From me - You matter to me so much. But I have fought my own battles and while I am here to pull you out of this sea I do not need you to pull me in after you, I only just got out.
You want the world in your own image.
You want us to feel your sadness rather than help you escape it.
We are here for you, do not break us.

The world today is changing, but unfortunately, sexual assault is still happening every single day. As long as sexual harassment and assault continues to happen and as long as people out there still think it is even slightly okay, then everyone is still in danger of this happening to them #saynotorape #wemattertoo #wearetired #blacklifematters https://www.instagram.com/p/CA9zwnOlIaw/?igshid=m40nilrnaqru

In response to the growing risk of COVID-19 spreading throughout our jails, prisons and detention centers at an alarming rate, award winning artists, system impacted individuals, leading organizers on the frontlines and influential organizations from around the country are coming together to launch the #WeMatterToo Campaign to change the national narrative around COVID-19 and our criminal justice system, pressure public officials to take action to remedy the situation, amplify the voices and stories of people who are incarcerated and empower communities to be agents of change. Every day that goes by without action means more people will get sick with COVID-19 and die.
The name of our #WeMatterToo Movement is derived from this powerful image of a young man who is currently incarcerated in Cook County Jail and the message he wrote on his window for the outside world: HELP. WE MATTER 2. We honor him and other people who are currently incarcerated during this global pandemic by fighting for them to improve conditions inside our nation’s jails, prisons and detention centers and demanding the release of more incarcerated people especially those who are high risk for COVID-19.

Mass Incarceration Could Add 100,000 Deaths to US Coronavirus Toll, Study Finds via The Guardian
No other country in the world incarcerates more people than the United States of America. With just four percent of the world’s population, 21 percent of the world’s incarcerated population live in U.S. facilities. COVID-19’s deadly impact on our nation’s more than 2.3 million incarcerated people as well as the thousands of individuals who work at the facilities is already underway. We must face this growing crisis with courage and compassion to spark change that lasts long after COVID-19 is gone to support our incarcerated brothers and sisters and keep them as safe and healthy as possible. The current conversation around our nation’s incarcerated community focuses only on numbers, policy and the economic impact of COVID-19 on our criminal justice system. We need to shift the discussion to one deeply rooted in humanity and compassion that acknowledges the human toll that this pandemic is having on our national’s criminal justice system.
#WeMatterToo is a grassroots movement comprised of organizations, artists and thought leaders who have dedicated their time and energy to supporting our brothers and sisters currently in prisons, jails and detention centers around the country during this scary and uncertain time. The campaign will center around a special short film produced in collaboration between Anti-Recidivism Coalition and Imagine Justice that is being directed by Filmmaker Savannah Leaf. The special film will showcase the voices of those currently incarcerated to amplify their stories and illustrate what’s going on behind the walls of our criminal justice system as COVID-19 continues to spread.
The #WeMatterToo Campaign will funnel the energy and emotion evoked from watching the film to drive audiences to take action whether it’s donating to a mutual aid fund to help formerly incarcerated individuals, signing a local petition to demand better conditions inside the facilities, calling your legislators to pressure them to advocate for criminal justice reform or one of the many other actions people will be able to take to help communities impacted by our criminal justice system. The overarching objectives and goals of #WeMatterToo include:
Bring love, hope and compassion to our brothers and sisters currently incarcerated in our nation’s jails, prisons and dentition centers.
Implement strategic action and aggressive policy change to save the lives of people behind bars in America.
Demand a continued reduction in the size of the incarcerated population around the country and improve conditions for those who will not be released.
Showcase and celebrate the impactful leaders and organizations on the frontlines of this Movement.
Lift up and support the wide variety of diverse re-entry services for formerly incarcerated individuals to help recently released individuals with their transition.
Provide audiences with insightful and compelling original content and enriching cultural experiences that spark meaningful dialogue around mass incarceration and empower people to be agents of change.
#WeMatterToo is an ongoing campaign that kicks off with the release of the short film and several virtual activations including an online music and poetry showcase, panel discussion and fireside chat.

Amazing! Powerful images from a recent #WeMatterToo protest against the inhumane treatment of people who are currently incarcerated in our nation's prisons, jails and detention centers as COVID-19 continues to spread. Special thanks to our Partner @ConCre8tes for standing with our brothers and sisters inside!

In this image, we can see a lot of cops hitting a black person, this is a clear demonstration of police brutality against African-American people because we can see that 3 cops are hitting a man while the other 2 cops are just watching without doing anything about it. We don't quite know the reasons for why he did it, but we do know that he was unarmed which is unfair.

Now and then my heart drops. Maybe it happens more than it should. This needs to be seen, loved, and read. Often I am told to accept my place in the void. That I should just acknowledge that my views don't expand outside of myself, and no matter how much I yearn for it to, when I might meet one or two people that understand, it fills me with hope, but often I'm led to wonder if this hope is false. Yet day by day I work on believing it's not & that I matter, diversity matters, our stories matter.

“It’s a troubling time for them,” Common said, “because they are the people who usually are overlooked.”
