Brown people,

I have recent, painful memories of non-Black POC not showing up, not mourning, not joining in the fight when Black people are targets of state violence. I want to say I see that changing. #DefundThePolice #BlackAndBrownSolidarity #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

I see Brown people making statements of solidarity, defending Black freedom fighters, and calling in their own people without being asked, and it means so much to me. #DefundThePolice #BlackAndBrownSolidarity #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

That being said, I want to see Brown people talk to each other about more than anti-Blackness in the abstract. While important, discussions about colorism, about hair, about the n-word, are not enough. #DefundThePolice #BlackAndBrownSolidarity #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

I want to see Brown people talking to other Brown people about #PoliceAbolition. I want to see Brown people talking to other Brown people about not calling cops. #DefundThePolice #BlackAndBrownSolidarity #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

I want to see Brown people talking to other Brown people about mobilizing when Black immigrants are deported and killed by ICE, and when Black people are killed by police and the military. #DefundThePolice #BlackLivesMatter #BlackAndBrownSolidarity #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

If we want to #AbolishICE then we have to #AbolishPolice in the same breath. One can't happen without the other, and we can't get free without showing up for each other in real time! #DefundThePolice #BlackAndBrownSolidarity #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter
