I am sure many of you are aware of the recent events that has been happening in the United States.
I wish to use my largest platform to express my support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Police brutality is never excusable, and it should not take another life taken to realize this. As an Indigenous person, I stand in solidarity with the black community.
I urge you all to educate yourselves and to sign petitions, contact your officials, and donate. If anyone needs someone to talk to, or need more information, do not hesitate to send me a message.
I will provide some links for you all, that was provided by the team at Nookazon.
