Our hearts and prayers are with the families of those killed in Charleston, SC last night. These tragedies have got to STOP.
And they will stop when all Americans raise their voices loud and sustained. We cannot be silent if we expect anything to change. The mass shooting at Emanuel AME Church comes on the heels of a year spent witnessing major injustices committed against Black people in our country. This is not the country we want to be. These actions do not represent our values.
It’s time to push our leaders to act. All good people must raise their voices. We need to protect every member of our community from hate and racism. And we need to stop so much of this violence by limiting access to guns.
This song poured out as we witnessed the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, and Trayvon Martin. After yesterday’s violence and the calls from James Clyburn and other leaders to break our silence, we felt we could no longer wait to express our outrage, sadness, and insistence that things must change.
