Despite the momentary sigh of relief that followed the conviction of Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd, the nightmare of state-sanctioned violence against the Black community is still very much alive. Just over an hour after the ruling was announced, news broke that 15-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant was shot and killed by Ohio Police after calling them for help. We cannot continue to live in this loop of death by the hands of those who we seek for protection. Although Chauvin will be held accountable for his disregard of Black life, justice continues to evade Black communities due to the systemic disregard toward Black people and the violence it inflicts on Black youth. We demand #JusticeforMaKhia Swipe to learn more. 
Today’s verdict represents accountability for Derek Chauvin, but it will never bring back the life of George Floyd. It will never bring back Gianna’s father, Courtney’s fiancé, or Philonise’s brother. It will neither change the system, nor bring back the countless other victims of police brutality and state-sanctioned violence. The fight for justice continues and we are committed to it. Sending our love to the Floyd family🤎

On March 29, 2021, Adam Toledo was shot and killed by a Chicago PD police officer. Yesterday, bodycam footage from that incident was released that showed that at the time of the shooting, Adam had his hands up. Adam was 13 and is among one of the youngest people killed by police in Illinois in years. He is also one of the 986 people shot and killed by police in US in the past year (Washington Post). State-sanctioned violence and police brutality continues to be systemic with a disproportionate impact on Black and Brown communities. Our hearts are with Adam’s family and the city of Chicago 🤎 #JusticeForAdamToledo

Our hearts have been heavy and tired this week as we confront so many images of trauma and collective suffering, seemingly all at once. The constant onslaught of pain can be exhausting and destabilizing. And while we commit to working hard for a future of justice, equity, and peace, we must also make personal commitments to ourselves to practice radical self-care. "It’s very dangerous not to recognize that as we struggle, we are attempting to presage the world to come and the world to come should be one in which we acknowledge the collectivity, and connections, and relations, and joy. And if we don’t start practicing collective self-care now there is no way to imagine, much less reach a time of freedom" - Angela Davis 
⚠️UPDATE: The situation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines continues to worsen following Monday morning's eruption and yet another one this morning. The collapse of the volcano's dome triggered dangerous Pyroclastic flows and increased risk for all those on the island. Swipe for the latest information and ways to support 🇻🇨from abroad. Donations and supplies are already being received with relief efforts well underway, but help continues to be needed. #VINCYSTRONG 📢Check out @amazonzed's expansive collection of relief efforts for additional action items and news sources: http://www.bit.ly/helpSVG 💙💛💚 
Yesterday afternoon, Daunte Wright was fatally shot by police just 12 miles away from the scene where George Floyd was murdered almost a year ago in the city where Derek Chauvin’s trial is still underway. Wright was just 20 years old when his life was taken away from his family and community. While this situation is all too similar to that of so many other young Black victims of police violence and negligence, we must continue to use our voices to call out racial injustice and state-sanctioned brutality in our society. 
We are saddened to be posting about another horrific tragedy. Yesterday, the Soufrière Volcano in St. Vincent erupted leaving thousands of Vincentians without shelter, food, and water. The eruption of the volcano has also resulted in widespread volcanic ash across the Island and into surrounding nations. ⚠️The citizens of St. Vincent urgently need your help.
