In the midst of powerful uprisings in defense of Black lives, the time to practice solidarity is now
In the midst of powerful uprisings in defense of Black lives, the time to practice solidarity is now. One way we can act today to stop killing Black people is to stop calling the police, and to make sure our loved ones stop too. We know this may be a difficult conversation and there is no one right way to do it. But, as Asian Americans committed to justice, we must try. Black lives depend on it.We wrote a letter to help you talk to your own family about not calling the police. As Asian Americans, we are demanding that our community take control of how we interact with the police and work to redefine what safety looks like, in solidarity with Black communities. We must stop investing in a police system that is violent and racist.TRANSLATIONS NOTE: We are working on multiple Asian language translations of this letter in partnership with Equality Labs.
