Taking a moment to acknowledge Jacob Blake, the recent victim of horrific police brutality in the US. What happened to him was a violent act of racism. It was attempted murder.
If you have the means, consider donating to his official GoFundMe. He and his family are on a long road to healing.
The Milwaukee Freedom Fund is also accepting donations to help support protestors in Blake's hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Lastly, here are a handful of people you can contact to demand a proper investigation into this lethal crime, and call for the arrest of the cop who shot Jacob Blake.
E-mail: Michael D. Graveley (Kenosha District Attorney) michael.graveley@da.wi.gov

POLICE OFFICERS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL PEOPLE, regardless of who are or where you live. If you're from Montreal, I encourage you check out Defund the SPVM -- the concept is hardly radical and, when put into action, it stands to improve (or outright SAVE) countless lives. Until then, please continue to speak up and act out against injustice.
We have to work together.
Fellow white people, especially: It's time to pull our weight.
