Black lives matter.
For too long, we've neglected Black and Brown lives. We've allowed Black stats to demonstrate the inequity that exists in every aspect of American life.
How can we make change? What can we do?
School Funding
Clearly, schools that serve large numbers of Black and Brown children are underfunded. Black and Brown children deserve high quality education, education that includes all the conditions of excellence that wealthy children enjoy.
Safe, Healthy Neighborhoods
Violence and despair are often caused by poor living conditions and poverty. We can better neighborhoods for all people by working towards good quality homes, healthy recreation, accessible nutritious food, good working conditions, fair pay, quality cultural events, and natural and human-made beauty that inspires the best of us.
Sensible Gun Laws
We know there are those that get wealthy by selling guns and spreading these violent weapons. We can make neighborhoods and lives across America safer by instituting safe gun laws that work against the greed and injustice some promote.
Organization Reform
All organizations in the United States demand reform that creates greater justice for our modern world. Police requires reform, education requires reform, jails require reform, health care requires reform. . . .we need to reimagine and reform all organizations in the United States to make justice accessible to ALL Americans.
For too long, Black and Brown individuals have faced too much prejudice and oppression. When we become a more just and equitable society, everyone will live better. We can do this. This will take work by every American. What will you do?
