Youtube video

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Video shows past and present Social Justice movements to fight white supremacy, including current movements taken place during the pandemic.

From the Video:
White supremacy has been etched into the foundation of our government since the beginning.

We don't rely on governments to do the work of mass movements. We don’t rely on the same tactics as white supremacists. This week, we will NOT give them what they want, which is a reaction out in the streets.

Today and everyday, WE keep us safe. WE will end white supremacy. Check in on each other.
