{ UPDATE: Derek Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder and the other three complicit officers, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao have also been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder. But this fight is not over, and it never should have taken over a week of nationwide protests and riots for it to happen. Sometimes when the public looks away, prosecuters drop charges in cases of police brutality. That's why we will continue to apply pressure until all four officers have actually been held accountable.}

George Floyd was a 46-year-old black man living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He had family and friends. He had a life. He had a life until May 25, 2020 when a white police officer named Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for some time between 5 and 10 minutes while he cried that he could not breathe and begged for his mother. Over the course of the horrendous video, bystanders beg the cop to lift his knee and check George's pulse. Floyd himself says "My stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts ... I can't breathe." Instead of listening and changing his restraint position, Chauvin continues to kneel and the video shows Floyd slowly becoming motionless.
Sign on if you want the men responsible to be charged and convicted for their crimes!
There were three other police officers present and not one of them did anything to stop the obvious brutality. There are multiple videos of the incident and in them, many of the bystanders are also begging the cop to stop kneeling on George's neck. One woman who says she is a firefighter told the cop to check his pulse and tell her what it is. Chauvin does nothing but continue to casually kneel on a man's neck while he lays still. The three other cops also mill around with hands in their pockets, doing nothing while a man begs for his life FOR MINUTES.

In moments like this it's easy to try to explain the police brutality by grasping for reasons why the victim deserved this treatment. But there is actually nothing a person could do to deserve to be slowly murdered while ten people look on when there are safer ways to detain a person. Police are not meant to be judge, jury, and executioner and it's time we stop allowing them to be. Derek Chauvin also has a history of misconduct with at least ten complaints against him and he has been involved with at least two murders by cop in his career, that we know of.

State and federal authorities are investigating and the good news is that all four of those officers have been fired now. But losing your job for murder is not a punishment that fits the crime. That's why we need to keep pushing until there are murder charges. All too often, once cases like these fall out of public attention, those in charge drop charges or lessen them.

The night after Floyd's murder, people were protesting the police brutality in the streets and police broke it up with riot gear and tear gas. Meanwhile, there have been protests against the lock down in Minnesota where white people with actual assault weapons have congregated and, unsurprisingly, the police did not attack or detain them.
Sign on if you want to see some justice for George Floyd in the form of actual murder charges and convictions for these four cops!

This is Breonna Taylor
She was brutally shot and killed by police in her own home. She did nothing wrong. Months after her murder at the hands of LMPD, her family has been denied the justice they deserve. Click below to take action or call 502-735-1784 to demand justice for Breonna right away.

Breonna Taylor: Say her name

Keep reading for important updates and action steps to #StandWithBre and finally secure justice in this case-or click to learn more about Breonna and the facts of the case.

CASE UPDATE:

Breonna and her family are still without justice. Attorney General Daniel Cameron just announced that the grand jury failed to indict any of the officers for Breonna Taylor's death, and that they would indict only Officer Brett Hankison with shots fired into other apartments during this senseless killing. This announcement is a slap in the face to the family of Breonna Taylor and the community at large. Here are five things that must happen to ensure an injustice of this magnitude never happens again. We'll need all hands on deck:

1. The Department of Justice must take immediate action to bring charges against all LMPD officers involved in Breonna's murder. The State of Kentucky has failed to secure justice for Breonna Taylor, for her family, and for her community. The responsibility now falls on the Department of Justice to hold Breonna Taylor's murderers accountable. Additionally, we demand that the Biden/Harris Campaign, who can and should be leading the call for justice on this issue, demand immediate DoJ action in this case.

2. Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Wine, who originally presided over Breonna's case, must step down for his gross mishandling of the Louisville Police Department and the subsequent investigation of Breonna Taylor's murder. In the days following her murder at the hands of officers Brett Hankison, Myles Cosgrove, and John Mattingly, Attorney Wine made no moves to condemn or in anyway hold the LMPD accountable. When he did take action, it was to charge Breonna's boyfriend Kenneth Walker for attempted murder of a police officer- even though he was defending himself from the plain clothes officers who recklessly and violently invaded his home that night. YOUR demands caused Attorney Tom Wine to drop the charges against Kenny and ultimately recuse himself from the case. Now we must demand that he step down!

3. We need full transparency from the grand jury and an independent overhaul of its findings, including a release of the transcripts from the proceedings as requested by Breonna's family. Breonna Taylor was sleeping in her own bed when she was murdered. It is outrageous that not a single charge was brought for her death. We CAN'T let this stand.

4. We must pass Breonna's Law to ban no knock warrants in cities across the country to prevent more murders like Breonna Taylor's. A No-Knock warrant is the type of warrant that killed Breonna. They're dangerous, unnecessary, and statistically more likely to target black and brown lives. We successfully helped pass Breonna's Law in Louisville, which banned no-knock warrants there-now we MUST do it again nationwide.

5. Lastly, we must support a new Commonwealth's Attorney candidate for Louisville, and for prosecutors' offices across the country, who can stand up for civilians against the brutality of our criminal legal system. The system hasn't failed, it was built this way. It is critical that we come together to dismantle and replace it with something imaginative and redemptive.

It is critical that ALL of us step up and make these five demands of our country and of our communities. We CAN secure justice for Breonna and end the epidemic of police brutality in America, but it will take all of us doing the hard work necessary to create that change. Please join us.

As a full-time EMT for two hospitals in Louisville, Kentucky, Breonna Taylor was a beloved and respected essential worker during the coronavirus pandemic. That police brutality killed her, and not the virus, is a painful reflection of the state of America.

A loving daughter, caring sister, and a kind and giving friend throughout her short life, she had a servant's heart and dedicated her entire life to helping people.

Breonna and her hard-working family moved to Louisville, Kentucky 12 years ago looking for a better life together. They found better jobs, a welcoming community, good schools, and were happy to call Louisville their home.

Breonna was always caring and thoughtful of others. At an early age she decided to dedicate her time to helping people. She worked with children with disabilities right after she graduated high school and spent the last several years working as an Emergency Medical Technician as she prepared to become a full-time nurse.

As proud as her family was of the good she did, they were concerned by the risks she faced serving patients impacted by the coronavirus. As an employee of not just one but two medical centers, she was living out her dream of serving others. She was truly on the front lines of the pandemic response, risking her own life every day to protect the community that she had come to love, and that loved her.

Stand with Breonna

Breonna was asleep at home when a rogue task-force of the Louisville police broke down her door in the middle of the night and murdered her. They were attempting an illegal drug raid in the wrong neighborhood for a suspect that they'd already arrested earlier that day.

Since the launch of this petition, Commonwealth Attorney Tom Wine has recused himself from the investigation into the LMPD conduct that night, the FBI is now investigating the killing of Breonna Taylor, the LMPD Police Chief, Steve Conrad, announced his retirement, all charges have been dropped against Breonna's boyfriend, Kenny Walker, and the Louisville Metro Council passed a ban on no-knock raids like the one used to break into Breonna's home, but our work is not done.
Breonna and her family are still without justice. Attorney General Daniel Cameron just announced that the grand jury failed to indict any of the officers for Breonna Taylor's death, and that they would indict only Officer Brett Hankison with shots fired into other apartments during this senseless killing. This announcement is a slap in the face to the family of Breonna Taylor and the community at large. We need all hands on deck to ensure an injustice of this magnitude never happens again.
We must continue fighting through legal channels for justice for Breonna's family and accountability for the officers involved. But in this moment, we must also do everything in our power to fight for deep, systemic change that prevents more murders like Breonna Taylor's. That's why we're launching a full-force, nationwide demand that cities across the country pass Breonna's Law to ban no-knock warrants. Add your name right now to call on city officials to stop more murders like Breonna Taylor's, immediately.

Demand Justice for Tony McDade

On May 27th, 2020, Tony McDade, a black transgender masculine person was shot five times in the back and killed by a Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) officer. TPD, notorious for its racism, white supremacy, and transphobia has consistently misgendered Tony and refused to release the officer's body camera footage and/or admit their wrongdoing in murdering and misgendering an unarmed black trans person.

Many details surrounding this incident are unclear, but eyewitness accounts and video footage contradict the official TPD report which states that Mr. McDade was armed. In fact, video footage of the shooting shows that Tony was shot 5-8 times in the back and that the officer was standing over Tony when the last shot was fired.

This is the THIRD murder of a black person by Tallahassee police in three months (March - May) under the direction of the newly installed racist killer cop Chief of Police, Lawrence Revell, who gunned down an unarmed black teenager 20 years ago and was promoted as a consequence of this, and his involvement in the white supremacist police team "the Alpha Squad" that used police intimidation and harassment to terrorize black youth in Tallahassee.

Please join us in demanding #JusticeForTony. This form allows you to send an email to the State Attorney, Chief of Police, Mayor, City Commissioners and City Manager demanding that they 1) remove the racist Chief of Police Lawrence Revell from office, 2) open an unbiased investigation into the brutal murder of Tony McDade, arrest all the police officers involved, and release all body camera footage 3) demand the TPD Citizens Advisory Committee be dissolved and replaced with a freely elected Citizens Police Accountability Council, and 4) demand a response from the Mayor, City Commission, and the Mayor's "LGBTQ Advisory Board" (all of which have been distinctly quiet) that outlines specific actions they will be taking to address and overcome the racism and transphobia widespread in the Tallahassee Police Department. Afterwards please share online. When the community stands together we will have justice.

FAQ

(Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I link this on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Website, etc?

Yes, you absolutely can!

Who are you?

My name is Nico and I am 19 years old!

Can I make a carrd inspired by this one?

I did not come up with the idea of compiling resources on BLM at all but please be respectful with how you discuss it. These are important issues and the discussion of black lives being lost.

Can I pay you for the work you're doing?

Thank you for the offer but kindly no! I am financially stable and there are much better places your money can go, such as to anything on the donate page!

Is this carrd updated?

I've been updating it for the past year as often as I can! However, running this carrd can be very mentally taxing considering the subject matter so I do often take long breaks for personal mental health. Please refer to the date on the bottom of the first page to see when the last update was and consider many other compilation sources meanwhile!

One last PSA:

Carrd's and infographics are the absolute tip of the iceberg when it comes to activism. This carrd can be very useful in aiding education or act as a starting point for you but please understand there is so much more to being an, "ally." Speaking up against racism in your real life, furthering your education on the subject and boosting black people and their voices are a few of the many important actions that further this movement. As times change and this movement furthers this carrd will not he relevant to every situation concerning black lives nor is any other carrd in a case by case basis. Do the work yourself as well to continue supporting black lives.

Release all unedited body cam footage from JSO Officer Josue Garriga and other officers involved including dash cam footage the evening of December 14th, 2019 when Jamee was killed by Officer Garriga.

On December 14, 2019, Jamee Johnson was riding in the Tallyrand area of Jacksonville. Jamee was pulled over for routine traffic stop by Jacksonville Sheriff Officer Graham and Josue Garriga. During this traffic stop, police say Officer Garriga learned the Jamee had a gun. Officer Garriga said Jamee initially complied but then pushed the officer, reached for a weapon and was shot four times. His death has sent shockwaves through the Jacksonville community and throughout Florida. Jamee Johnson was a senior at Florida A&M University who has been described as kind and driven. He was a member of the Progressive Black Men association at FAMU and was a senior majoring in Business Administration.

As a Black Man, I've too often been uneasy around police for simply being Black. Time and time again, Black men are labeled as hostile as our regular way of being. In 2017, Keegan Roberts was murdered by a racist neighbor and the police dragged their feet to bring charges on the neighbor. I wrote a petition on this very site that garnered over 50,000 signatures to make sure State Attorney Nelson prioritized his case. Now, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the death of Jamee is considered to be an "active" ongoing investigation. Leaving the family and the community still wondering, "What happened?" and "Who is being investigated?"

The police can't investigate themselves! Since 2018 after 24 requests JSO had only proactively released 1 bodycam video, recently in Feb of this year (2020), they released another both of which portrayed the officer in a good light or was in the best interest of the dept! All of us would want answers after something so tragic has happened and we should give Jamee's parents at least the ability to see the bodycam and dashboard footage from that night.

The family of Jamee demands answers to the death of their, brother, nephew, cousin and son at the hands of Officer Garriga as well as the need for police accountability in the City of Jacksonville.

Justice for Julius

Julius Jones is on death row in Oklahoma despite compelling evidence that he was wrongfully convicted and that racial bias infected his case. Julius' co-defendant, the key witness against him, fit the only eyewitness description of the shooter, while Julius did not. Yet, Julius' underfunded and inexperienced public defenders failed to cross-examine this co-defendant about the six different and inconsistent statements he gave to the police after his arrest. They also failed to put on evidence showing that Julius' co-defendant was likely the actual shooter and was testifying against Julius to avoid the death penalty. In exchange for his testimony against Julius, Julius' co-defendant was released from prison after only 15 years on a 30-year sentence. Attorneys also failed to present to the jury powerful evidence from several eyewitnesses that places Julius at his parents' home at the time of the murder. Julius deserves TRUE justice...NOW!

During this coronavirus pandemic, say no to racism in all its forms.

We are deeply disturbed by the recent rise in hate crimes, abuse and attacks because of COVID19 fears- especially those directed at the British East Asian Community (Chinese, East and South East) living, working and studying in the UK. Across Britain we have seen racist attacks against innocent, ordinary members of the public. People have been violently attacked on the street, abused on public transport, spat on, children attacked at schools and more. There has been racist graffiti scrawled outside Takeaways and people pursued up our High Streets, abused, and told to go home.

There have been at least 267 recorded instances by the police in the first three months of 2020, compared to 375 hate crimes throughout the whole of 2019 and 360 offences in 2018. These figures are likely under-estimates as the police acknowledge there is likely to be considerable under-reporting.

We stand agaist Racism in Britain and are calling for our political and public leaders to lead by example and unequivocally condemn this COVID19 related racism. Racial abuse, in any form, needs to be condemned by a united voice from us all saying this is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. We are all worried about COVID19 but to allow that fear to turn into hatred is not right.

This petition will be sent to the Prime Minister calling for a clear declaration that the British Government stands against hate crime against British Chinese and East Asian heritage people in our Country.

This petition is launched by CARG- COVID19 Anti- Racism Group formed by concerned British citizens and community leaders following an open letter and echoes a petition in Australia.

Recent attacks on elderly Asian victims are at the center of a rising national dialogue about anti-Asian and Asian-American racism, with the latest incidents coming nearly a year after the coronavirus pandemic spawned increased vitriol towards people of Asian descent across the country.

Last month, 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee died, two days after the Thai man was shoved to the ground while walking in San Francisco. Days later, a second incident saw a 91-year-old man violently attacked while walking in Oakland's Chinatown, the latest in a string of reported physical attacks and robberies targeting Asian men and women in the Bay Area. On the other side of the country, photos of Noel Quintana quickly began circulating, after the 61-year-old Filipino-American was slashed in the face with a box cutter on the subway, the victim of a reported hate crime in New York City.

While news of the incidents was slow to trickle out in the mainstream press, reaction from the Asian-American community was swift. Tributes to Ratanapakdee online demonstrated shared grief in the community, while a petition by Asian American Collective called for better coverage of the assaults. Prominent Asian-American celebrities like Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, and Olivia Munn, meanwhile, used their platforms to bring awareness to the incidents, with Dae Kim and Chinese-American actor Daniel Wu going so far as to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the attacker in Oakland (police now have a suspect in custody). According to leaders in the community, Asians are standing up for themselves as recent events have pushed things to a breaking point.

"The reality is many of these [stories] involve videos where you see direct, violent attacks on elders. And so when you see that, there's a visceral reaction - that I think all of us rightfully have - to seeing someone that is very vulnerable in our society getting attacked in this senseless and tragic manner," says John Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC. "It's understandable that we want to focus on this now. We also need to keep our focus even when there aren't these videos, even when there isn't that one single incident that brings it out."

Yang adds that, although this has been a problem for this last year in terms of coronavirus, "historically, going even further, it's always been a problem that the Asian-American community has had to deal with."

The roots of anti-Asian sentiment in the U.S. can be traced as far back as the concept of "yellow peril" and the Chinese Exclusion Act that treated Asian immigrants as threats to national security in the 1880s. But they surfaced on a large-scale level last year, after reports traced the origins of the coronavirus back to China. According to the organization Stop AAPI Hate, from March 19th through December 31st, 2020, 2,808 firsthand reports of anti-Asian hate incidents were collected from 47 states and the District of Columbia. Of the reported incidents, 7.3 percent of the reports counted elderly Asians as the victims.

Advancing Justice-AAJC co-founded its own anti-hate initiative called StandAgainstHatred.org in response to racist rhetoric during political campaigns in 2016, and Yang says their website receives more reports now than they did when it was first created.

"There's probably a couple of different root causes [of recent attacks, and] I wouldn't attribute it to any one thing," he says. "First and foremost is we had a former president that conditioned communities to be phobic and to be anti-Asian. And he did it through rhetoric around this awful 'Chinese virus' or 'kung-flu,' " Yang explains. "And so we had a situation where people saw the Asian-American community as 'other,' as a different community, and frankly, as a disease-carrying community. So that is certainly one cause. But the other cause is the economic insecurity that a lot of people face. We have to look at this in the context of Covid-19, what people are feeling economically, and the fear that people feel."

One of the first memorandums President Biden released was to condemn xenophobia, racism, and intolerance against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, stoked by what the memo referred to as "unfounded fears and perpetuated stigma."

The release cited the estimated two million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders serving on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis as healthcare providers, first responders, and other essential workers. "Despite these increasing acts of intolerance, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have made our Nation more secure during the Covid-19 pandemic and throughout our history," President Biden's memo said.

Vice-President Kamala Harris also has spoken out specifically about the recent cases in her home state of California, taking to Twitter to condemn the "xenophobic attacks."

Hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans and Asian immigrants have skyrocketed during the pandemic. That's why our Administration has taken actions to address these xenophobic attacks. We must continue to commit ourselves to combating racism and discrimination.

- Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) February 12, 2021

While the recent news coverage focuses on acts of violence, Yang notes that a self-reported hate incident does not have to involve physical injury, but can still traumatize, instill fear, and impact a victim and their community negatively.

"[When] we talk about hate crimes and hate incidents," Yang says, "certainly there have been some pretty violent attacks; I don't want to minimize that. But much of what we are seeing, probably about 90 percent or so, involve racial slurs, involve bullying, a lot of harassment, and those must be addressed. But we need to be smart about how we're addressing them."

As calls continue to grow for awareness and action (read: arrests and justice) in relation to the new spate of attacks, there is a parallel call for solidarity and support, with Asians seeking allyship from outside their own communities. Yang says there are a number of ways people can step up to show their support.

What Can You Do to Support the Asian Community?

1. Provide Community Resources

Yang emphasizes that there are several ways to create safer public spaces, not just in Asian neighborhoods, but for the community at large. "Safety looks like... making sure that we provide a protective network for [our elders], making sure that there are community resources if there are attacks, and making sure that there is a response group that helps to provide the resources that they need," he says.

2. Inter-Community and Inter-Racial Dialogue

It's important, Yang stresses, to be "Having these conversations not only within the Asian community [and] making sure Chinese Americans are talking to Indian Americans, are talking to Vietnamese Americans. But then expand that out - talking to the Black community, the Latino community, too," he says. "Because the bottom line is, we're all in this together. And if we all feel that connective thread, that connective tissue, that's what's going to lead to longer-term solutions, longer-term protection of all of us during this environment."

3. Education

Yang calls "the education piece" part of the long-term strategy that people need to think about. To Yang, that means, "Making sure that people understand the history of Asian-Americans in America, that we have been a fabric of this country for centuries. And in that sense, we are not foreigners to this country, he concludes. "Rather, we are part of this country."

What Are Good Resources and Tools to Help Stop "Asian Hate?"

Bystander Intervention Training: Advancing Justice-AAJC and Hollaback! partnered to create a guide that offers strategies for de-escalating situations when you see someone is being harassed. The guide includes suggestions such as starting a conversation with the target to provide a distraction, finding assistance from someone else in the area, taking out your phone to record the incident on video, or if it is unsafe to engage during the incident, checking in with the victim and offering support after the harassment.

Volunteer in Your Community: The Oakland Chinatown Coalition created a volunteer-based community safety program to check in on community members, local businesses, and clean up trash in the area while New York City has a similar program called Chinatown Block Watch. Remember the safety and resource needs can vary from city to city - seek out your local Asian community center and ask if they have a volunteer program.

Report Incidents: If you witness a hate incident or are the victim of a hate incident, report it to Stop AAPI Hate and Stand Against Hatred so that data can be used for education and advocacy. If this is an emergency, you should always dial 911.

Check in on Someone You Know:

With 20 million Asians in the United States - six to seven percent of the nation's population - odds are that you know someone who is of Asian descent. A survey by PEW Research Center reported that Asian Americans and Black Americans have experienced discrimination during the pandemic. Asking something as simple as "How are you feeling about this?" or "How can I support you?" can go a long way.

Too many Black people in America are dying.

We die driving our cars. We die playing outside. We die babysitting. We die eating ice cream. We die sleeping in our own beds. We die and die and die at the hands of the police who are sworn to serve and protect us.

Even then, we are not done dying. We die giving birth. We die trying to breathe. We die when doctors under-treat our heart attacks and dismiss our calls for help.

We die because we are overrepresented where it hurts, such as poverty and prisons, and underrepresented where it helps, such as higher education, elected office, and the federal judiciary. We die from many causes, but one stands out from all others: racism.

We die because we are overrepresented where it hurts and underrepresented where it helps

The expendability of Black lives is not a flaw in the system; it is the system. We are meant to die or, at the very least, we are not meant to be protected, to be respected, to be valued, to be considered fully human. That is how racism works, and it has operated efficiently throughout American history.

It is no accident that we disproportionately work in the lowest paying jobs, and live in communities where the water is unsafe to drink and the air unfit to breathe, where polluters ply their trades, where schools are starved of resources, where green space or even a grocery store can be hard to find.

All of this has led us to a new statistic on dying: we are 3.5 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than white people. Although Black people are only 13% of the population, we constitute about twice that percentage of US coronavirus cases. This is not because the coronavirus seeks us by color; it is because we suffer from an underlying condition.
In 1919, the state failed to protect black Americans. A century later, it's still failing | Carol Anderson
Say its name. The condition is racism. It is manifest in a lack of opportunity; in economic inequality; in the absence of healthcare; in a biased criminal justice system and mass incarceration; in schools that scream for care; in a denial of truth; and more.

Under no regime but racism could kneeling for eight minutes and 46 seconds on the neck of a man who had already been handcuffed - and who was pleading for breath as bystanders screamed that he was dying - be considered a fitting police response to the suspected use of a counterfeit $20 bill. Five years ago, New York City police choked Eric Garner to death for selling untaxed cigarettes at about $1 apiece. Through such grim arithmetic, we learn exactly how much Black life is worth to America's police forces.

Each year, more than 1,000 civilians nationwide are killed by police - and Black people are three times more likely to be slain than white people, despite also being more likely to be unarmed. Only 1% of those officers ever face charges. This kind of weaponized racism takes a toll on Black people nationwide. It starts early: the vast majority of Black families find it necessary to have "the talk" with their children. No, not the one about the birds and the bees. This talk prepares them to expect unfair and disrespectful treatment from police - and to accept such treatment because the slightest objection could result in their death.

The racism that is embedded in our country's policies, systems, and practices may be historical, but it is not inevitable. The Covid-19 crisis, for example, is still young, and the US has time to change the racist form our response is already taking, with people of color standing first in line for exposure but last when it comes to relief. We could ensure that frontline workers - disproportionately Black and brown - have sufficient safety equipment and that employers are held accountable to keep their workers, not just their profits, safe. We could lighten the burden of student debt for a generation that faces interrupted careers and uncertain job prospects. There is much the country could do, if we had the will.

Today, the clarion call to all decent, caring people is simple and emphatic: vote! Our lives depend on it!

But racism robs nations of the will to do the right thing. If conscience won't suffice, then power must. And in America, political power comes from the strength and preservation of constitutional democracy and through our votes. There are many paths our country could take to ensure Black and brown people can make their voices heard and their lives matter, and all lead to the ballot box. Today, more than any time in recent memory, the clarion call to all decent, caring people is simple and emphatic: vote! Our lives depend on it!

Across the country, large numbers of people from all walks of life have joined peaceful protests against racist police violence, offering welcomed solidarity in recognition of the searing frustration and anger of Black people who have seen too many friends and family die senselessly. More violence can never be the answer, nor can we allow those of ill will to distract and inflame. Our message is simple: racism is killing Black people in America. And we are done dying.

Imagine, for a moment, that you are a black man or woman living in America in 2020. How could you not believe that racism kills?

If you are black, you need not imagine anything. You know it very well.

You don't need to see the video of George Floyd, a police officer's knee on his neck as he struggled for his dying breaths, to know that black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than are white people.

You don't need to hear the racial statistics on COVID-19 to know that black people have been affected disproportionately -- the same is true of eight of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States. Even before the pandemic, black life expectancy was 3½ years shorter than white.

Many blacks are redlined into densely packed, crime-ridden urban areas. Stuck in underfinanced, substandard schools. Subjected to silent environmental catastrophes, like lead hidden in pipes and on walls.

"It's not just how could you not believe that racism is killing you if you are black," said Brittany Packnett Cunningham, founder of Campaign Zero, which fights police brutality. "How could ANYBODY not realize the lethal nature of racism?"

This is all true 401 years after the arrival of the first slaves on these shores, 155 years after they were emancipated, more than five decades after the passage of the voting rights acts. If whites are surprised, Cunningham said, it is only because they view the world through rose-colored, Caucasian glasses.

"I think white people were spared the truth of what was happening so they could believe there was progress being made," she said.

But recent events like the deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis and of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man chased and killed by armed white men as he jogged through a south Georgia neighborhood, could not be ignored. Especially because there was video.

"There's something about seeing a dead body on the ground," said Rashawn Ray, a sociology professor at the University of Maryland and fellow at The Brookings Institution.

Ray said black people are often victims of over-policing. For example, he said, 80 to 90 percent of the arrests for breaking social distancing rules in New York City were of blacks or Latinos.

And these encounters often escalate. He cited the incident last week involving a white woman in New York's Central Park and a black birdwatcher who complained that her dog was not leashed. She told him she was going tell the police that "an African-American man is threatening my life."

Police came and left without incident. But Ray said he could easily imagine a scenario where they believed the white woman, not the black man, and the situation deteriorated. "It ends with George Floyd," he said.

For many blacks, the line between police brutality and their sufferings in the COVID-19 pandemic is not a tenuous one. An Associated Press analysis of state and local data showed black Americans are dying at a far greater rate than would be expected, given their share of the population.

Pre-existing conditions in the black population have been cited, but Ray said those conditions often can be blamed on circumstances beyond their control -- poverty, environmental ills, a lack of green space for exercise and of decent grocery stores that offer healthy foods.

As "essential," low-paid workers, they had to labor through the pandemic, often with little protection. But when they got sick, they were not so essential. A study found that black people seeking testing or treatment for COVID-19 were six times more likely to be turned away than whites, Ray said.

He said they've had to rely on a health care system that has long failed them: fewer and more distant hospitals, urgent care centers and specialists, and pharmacies that are understaffed and understocked.

How bad is black health care? In a 2010 study, sociologist Evelyn J. Patterson found that while prison generally shortened the lives of white inmates, incarcerated black prisoners had lower death rates than those on the outside. Mostly, she concluded, it was because they received better health care there.

None of this is new. The statistics on black mortality, the accounts of black killings at the hands of the police and others, have played out over generations, not weeks.

The Rev. William J. Barber II, co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, said "death by racism" goes back to the founding of the country. It is "a wound," he said, that has caused untold suffering over the centuries.

"We only discuss it and deeply probe it at a moment like this," he said.

Heartened by the outrage shown by people of all races after Floyd's death, he also sees this as a moment when change is possible.

He is planning a virtual assembly and march on Washington for June 20. He will continue to call out President Donald Trump: "Every time he opens his mouth, he spreads racism." He has redoubled his efforts against voter suppression; by reducing black representation, he said, politicians are preventing blacks from gaining the power they need to turn the fatal, racist tide.

"There comes a time in every generation when the wound becomes so infested that the body politic cannot stand it," he said. "I pray that this is one of those moments."

Racial violence and racial health inequities in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impact on Blacks. Sharrelle Barber reports. The murder of George Floyd, suffocated by a police officer who, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, lodged his knee into Floyd's neck on May 25, is just the latest example of a longstanding history of racial terror and police brutality against Blacks in the USA, and has sparked global outrage.

Don't be mistaken by the name. Although it mostly adresses the issue of sexism, it is also an account worth mentioning in relation with racism.
