We mourn the loss of all those whose lives ended as a result of senseless brutality. 

We must use our platform to protest the death of these people:

George Floyd

Eric Harris

Breonna Taylor

Ahmaud Arbery

Ezell Ford

Alton Sterling

Sean Bell

Trayvon Martin

Akai Gurley

Eric Garner

Terence Crutcher

Tamir Rice

Mike Brown

Freddie Gray

Alayna Stanley-Jones

Philando Castille

Rekia Boyd

James Clark

Walter Scott

Korryn Gaines

Sandra Bland

Elisha Stanley

Kimani Gray

Sam Dubose

Phillip White

Dontrae Hamilton

and all the others whose deaths have been kept silent.

Black Lives Matter, today and every day. We stand in solidarity with Black communities as we again find ourselves anguished, angered, and compelled to action in response to the murders of George Floyd and Black people across the United States by police. Unless and until white America is willing to collectively acknowledge its privilege, take responsibility for its past and the impact it has on the present, and commit to creating a future steeped in justice, the list of names that George Floyd has been added to will never end.

Please take this time to observe a moment of silence and respect for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, in honor of George Floyd, and all the others who should still be here with us today.

Thank you. Black Lives Matter.
