Over 1,000 people are killed by police every year in America, and Black people are three times more likely to be killed than white people. We can take steps and make reforms to combat police violence and systemic racism within law enforcement. At Solidariedade Na Mokili, we believe that #BlackLivesMatter and we support the ongoing struggles in cities and towns across America to seek positive change and redress deep imbalances. Now, we the people, who have a legitimate claim to even greater and more righteous societal power — our voices and our votes — must not be afraid to use it either. Our actions, both individually and collectively, can make a difference, especially now. We cannot stay silent in the face of racial injustice whether it is within our own communities or outside of them. No one should feel threatened or afraid because of the color of their skin, or who they are, or who they choose to be. We all have a responsibility to end discrimination and intolerance — and to seek justice, reconciliation, and healing. We stand with the family of George Floyd and the countless other families and communities who have suffered discrimination, hatred, or racial violence. This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist George Floyd's family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the countless other families and communities who have suffered discrimination, hatred, or racial violence.
