BLACK LIVES MATTER.
No matter the gender, economic status, sexuality, origin, if they have a home or not... If they have a criminal record or not. If they have education or a PhD degree. No matter what they do as work. ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER NO MATTER WHAT. Make your voice be heard because this isn’t a black issue - IT’S OUR ISSUE as long as you can’t cope with injustice. WE ARE THE GENERATION. WE HAVE THE POWER.
POWER TO OUR PEOPLE. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
