“We are Outraged. And We are Committed.” A Message from NCMLP About Recent Police Brutality
We are outraged and devastated by the murders of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, George Floyd in Minnesota, and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky. Their names join too many others whose beautiful lives were cut short by the plague of systemic racism and white supremacy that allows police brutality like this to occur. Their lives matter deeply. Black lives matter deeply. Action is the only response.
