I can go birding (#ChristianCooper)

Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash. pic.twitter.com/3YnzuATsDm

White privilege is real. Take a minute to consider a Black person’s experience today.”

We live in two Americas.

One where armed white protestors storm government buildings without fear – and one where peaceful people of color face tear gas for standing up against racism.

Ways you can help:

The extrajudicial execution of George Floyd on Monday night at the hands of the Minneapolis police has sparked an uprising.Things are moving quickly on the ground, but here are ways you can help right now:

Contact Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and demand he call off the National Guard.
Phone: 651-201-3400
Twitter: @GovTimWalz

Contact Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and demand he call off the National Guard and push for charges for all four officers who were involved.
Phone: 612-673-2100
Twitter: @MayorFrey, @jacobwarman_Frey

Contact County Attorney Mike Freeman and demand he charge all four officers with murder.
Phone: 612-348-5550
Email: citizeninfo@hennepin.us

George Floyd’s murder falls into the deeply entrenched pattern of violence, anti-Blackness, and oppression upheld by policing in this country. And we recognize that as we fight for a better world, it will be the police who threaten our protests, the police who will break up our picket lines, the police who selectively wield their monopoly on violence against Black people and working-class people to protect those with power and privilege.Strong and well-resourced communities do not require repression, and by extension, repressive institutions to keep peace when there is justice. We will fight for a world where Black people can breathe freely and challenge ourselves to take greater responsibility for abolition, and the courage to pursue a just and liberated future.

Donate to the official George Floyd Memorial Fund (As a measure of the international outrage sparked by this brutal killing, the George Floyd Memorial Fund has raised nearly $2.5 MILLION.)
