Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Rayshard Brooks is why.
Rodney King is why.
Kalief Browder and Philando Castile.
Memories I can’t forget are why.
Korryn Gaines. Breonna Taylor. Sandra Bland.
Tony McDade and Nina Pop are why.
All of our brothers and sisters we’ve lost.
They’re why.
Why I fight.
Fight to end anti-Black violence.
And stand up to anyone who wants me to stay silent.
Knowing police killed three people every day last year
Seeing children in solitary confinement
Black kids going to jail for smoking the same weed white kids smoke freely
Seeing murdering cops get off because mayors and prosecutors are scared of police unions
Because politicians care more about corporations who profit from mass incarceration than they do about us
They may want me to go away
But I’m not going anywhere.
I’m not going anywhere.
I’m not stopping when this video is over
I’m not stopping.
Until politicians stop taking money away from teachers and nurses to give to the police
And taking supplies away from essential workers
Until mayors stop sending cops into schools to terrorize kids
Until police are told they are accountable to our communities
Not in charge of them
Until Congress stops equipping the police for war instead of holding them accountable for peace
Until mayors start telling police that they are the problem, not Black people
Until prosecutors start doing their jobs and charging police officers for abuse and perjury
Until justice is real
Until justice is real
Juneteenth celebrates the people who fought to abolish slavery
But it’s up to us to abolish the legacy of slavery
That means downsizing the police
Making Black lives matter in every decision a corporation makes
And every decision a government makes
I’m not stopping when this video is over
I’ve got a plan to fight
I’ve got a plan to do what I can
Don’t be tricked by fake changes
We have to fight until we get real changes
But the fight needs people to work
People like you and me
I’m not stopping when this video is over
And neither should you
Be part of the fight.
Be part of the change.
Until justice is real.
