  Conversations are hard.  Here are some things to NOT say and what to say instead

Of course, all lives matter BUT...

Of course, all lives matter BUT...

Stay focused on what matters.

Tune out the noise. Remember this is about money and murder. Demanding justice and equal opportunity is our right. 

Celebrities - Sit Down and Stop Talking

I Support Community & Police Reform

Rooting out systemic injustice in our police and judicial systems is essential and overdue.  But it is only the beginning.  Collectively we must address the economic and community imbalances that are the result of centuries of oppression and racism in America.  I support: 


  • Community investment 
  • Equalizing education systems 
  • Creating economic opportunity 
  • Decriminalizing addiction  
  • Reducing the poverty to prison pipeline 
  • Women's reproductive rights 


"Defunding the Police" is a media soundbyte for the needed societal reforms that will make a better world for people of color.  Don't be distracted by noise. This is a long game that requires local action.  And yes, it means change the distribution of funding and the power that goes with it.
