Accountability

Today we saw accountability when the verdict for George Floyd’s murder came in.
In that vein, it was a good day.
We can only hope this sets a standard going forward.
Correction:
We can DEMAND this to be a standard going forward.
And remember
Accountability
Is not the same
as
Justice.
A man still lost his life
- no, wait, it wasn’t lost. It was taken.-
So, let us keep showing up
keep demanding change
keep demolishing the structures that strive to keep people down
and keep challenging the ways in which
we each, individually, contribute to
upholding the power structures that threaten
our community members.
