First off, this is not me in the drawing. I'm too young to protest currently. So this is what i'm doing instead. Second: PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. I know this is long but please. Even if you don’t live in america, this is important. Thank you. George floyd, a 46 year old african american died this monday in Minneapolis, at the hands of the police. He was accused of forgery. Without proof, even with proof, forgery is not punishable by death. He was not resisting arrest nor fighting back in any way. He was held down while an officer held his knee against his neck. There is a video showing him beg for air, repeatedly saying “i can’t breathe ” all the officer did was press harder. This is yet another case of police brutality, fresh off the heels of Ahmaud Aubrey. It’s quite obvious he was racially targeted. The officers still have not been charged. There are ongoing protests and riots, mainly in minneapolis. Police brutality has been a problem for forever in america. Racially driven attacks by police have long since been a problem. You may not see it, but if you really take a look around you, you can see that black people in america suffer at the hands of the police. Some people still refuse to see it, saying things like: “white privilege is not real” or “all lives matter”. Whether you see it or not, white privilege is real. White people are not targeted and oppressed like black people are. And of fking course all lives matter. But we’re talking about the lives in danger because of the people who are supposed to protect us. Please speak up about this. Speak up on twitter if you can. Even if it’s just putting in your bio, IT COUNTS. Do all you can to tell people “THIS IS WRONG”. You don’t need to be black to speak up. So Please, DO. I am a 6th grader and I can see how wrong this is. If i can take a stand, so can you. ‼️SIGN THESE PETITIONS‼️ Text 551-56 FLOYD to sign a petition to the mayor! Text 668-366 JUSTICE to sign another petition! Find the gofundme for George’s memorial. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. TAKE A STAND AND DONT BE A BYSTANDER. “if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” - Desmond Tutu. @xo_soci #blm#blacklivesmatter#justice#important#payattention#twitter#protest
