TOO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AS A RESULT OF STATE SANCTIONED VIOLENCE SINCE THE AUGUST 2014 MURDER OF MIKE BROWN. WE HAVE FAILING SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE AND A GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POISONING OF CITIES INHABITED BY PEOPLE OF COLOR. WE ARE WORKING HARD TO ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY HAS A PLACE TO THRIVE DESPITE THE LEVEL OF REPRESSION WE FACE DAILY. THE CURRENT WORLD IS NOT ONE IN WHICH WE WANT TO LIVE, SO WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE IT.
