After listening to many hours of public hearings about defunding the police and fixing systemic racism in our city, now is the time to be critical of our institutions and creative with how we move forward.

I've learned so much these past few days. I'm both excited for change and worried that our city will choose the easiest route, instead of the most innovative and inspiring.

It's time to reimagine what our city can be and put it to action!

What does change look like to you? How can we restructure our cities and institutions? How can we unlearn what's been engraved in our minds and grow towards an anti-racist, decolonized world? ~

'Growth Mindset' by @artbysade (on instagram)

This painting is a reminder to continue listening and growing towards a better ideal. We cannot turn a blind eye to the problems in our society and must move forward together.

By doing this, we can make the world we live in a better place.
