Say Their Names

We honor those who have been taken from us too soon. The fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, children, cousins, best friends, loved ones that will never see justice. Let our rage be fueled by the wrongful deaths of these beautiful Black souls. May we not rest until justice is served for each and every one of them and then may we continue to seek justice for all Black people until every person is equal.
