In just 2 years (2019-2021), at least 178 people who called 911 were killed by the responding cops, according to WaPo. The killing of Sonya Massey, a 36 yr old Black woman, is the latest horror demonstrating why police are the antithesis to safety. Policing must be dismantled.

One of the most important lessons I learned from reading Toni Morrison is that there is no level of bending or acquiesing to whiteness that will ever overcome white supremacy and anti-Blackness. Our performance of “goodness” won’t ever earn inclusion or respect.
