Black Lives Matter

All human rights matter

Can I speak from the heart?

We need to play our parts.

Stand up with our hearts.

Our fears, doubts and miscommunications.

Stand together as one family.

There isn’t any room at my table for any kind of hate.

Can you help me?

Stand up, speak our voices.

I couldn't do it without you.

Let’s stand up for our fellow neighbors, peers, communities.

Nothing works right unless we work together.

Stop the hate.

Stop the fake.

Stop the people in charge.

Say, yell THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

We didn’t ask for this fight,

Can we please end it?

End segregation of colors, religions, sexual orientation, women's rights.

All of this hatred for any little thing “ different”.

Let’s take this card we have been dealt and look at it at face value.

Realize our people need to come together and heal.

Make progress forward.

Not take 15 steps back every single day.

This hatred is hurting us at the core.

If what they say is true, you have to be the change you want to see in this world.

Let’s change this,

NOW!!

I’m doing my part.

Everyone else let's stand up, stand hands together.

And stand strong!!
