The fact that saying #BlackLivesMatter is controversial statement is a testament to the long history of racism and white supremacy in America that lasts to this day.
Today I attended a protest for #RyanTwyman who was unarmed and shot by the police 34 times— Mr. Twyman’s life was stolen by the LA county sheriffs department from his three young children.
It upsets me how many people today think that they would be on the front lines of the civil rights movement if it was currently happening when in reality it still is but they’re not there.

Because ending police brutality is A continuation of the civil rights movement.
If you truly care about gun violence prevention (which includes stoping police brutality) or racial justice don’t just sit on Twitter but get your ass on the street and work with oppressed communities as an ally not a savior.

Simply start by asking how you can help.
