A Black man should be able to go for a jog without fearing for his life. Today, we remember Ahmaud Arbery’s life and we dedicate ourselves to making this country safer for people of color.

A year ago, Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed while on a run. As we remember Ahmaud today, we commit to building a future where Black Americans no longer have to live in fear— simply because of the color of their skin.

One year ago today, Ahmaud Arbery was murdered. I poured my thoughts and emotions into “Who Gets to Be Afraid in America?”

3 white men chased and shot him while he was jogging, using racist slurs over his body. They claimed they believed he was a burglar.
