End qualified immunity. Pass anti lynching law. Voting rights. Reparations. Cancel student debt. Baby bonds. A race conscious, modernized CRA to stop redlining. A healing state instead of a carceral one. An end to Black maternal mortality & the push out of Black girls in schools.
This is only some of what must happen. Undoing centuries of precise *legislated* hurt and harm done to Black Americans, it won't be undone by any one law change. It's going to take multiple bills, political will and courage at every level of govt.
The work for equal and full citizenship rights for Black folks, the work of Black liberation is daunting, especially in the face of unrelenting trauma, but I/we don't have the luxury of not doing it. It is simply a matter of life and death.
Our greatness is older than our oppression. I believe in the strength of our movement. We deserve healing, peace, joy, equality, freedom from fear. Justice. Another world is possible, one where the humanity and value of Black lives is affirmed, codified in our laws & policies.
