I CAN'T BREATHE!!

Updated: Jul 6, 2020

We Stand Together. We need to channel our energy to make a change to be better.

This is a time for social unrest amongst our youth and our nation. The unjust killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others has stirred up our feelings about our own future and that of the person sitting next to us. Cases of racial discrimination, social injustice, denial or violation of economic, sociocultural, political, civil, or human rights by those with more power or influence are climbing.

The racism that this country instills on all people of color puts them in a cycle of suffering. There are so many common aspects of life in which racism prevents black people from moving forward in life. Things like jobs, for example - it's common knowledge that white people have more power in terms of decisions and even respect.

When hiring, there is a strong change that they'd lean towards a white man, then a white woman, instead of a man or woman of color. The racism that has become common in our country prevents many people of color from getting good jobs, which means their income is lower, meaning their entire family might need to move into a poorer…
