Complete the full circle of civil disobedience; protest in the streets, then hit the voting booth to root out systemic racism's enablers.

Candidates better have SOLUTIONS to propose to racial injustice.
Candidates better ACKNOWLEDGE our pain and grief.
Candidates better say the words #BlackLivesMatter and all #BlackLivesMatter all day every day.

Sandra Bland should never have been put in the position where dying was preferable to living
