Black Lives Matter
(Links to petitions, fundraisers, and resources)
Instead of publishing stories from our Fearless writers today, June 2, 2020, our publication will be silent, here on Medium and on social media.
The voices of Black people everywhere need to be heard — and not just today or while the hashtag #blackouttuesday is still trending.
On this #blackouttuesday, we use our platform to remain silent in memory of George Floyd, David McAtee (an unarmed Black restaurant owner who was shot by LMPD officers with unactivated body cameras early Monday morning), Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, John Crawford, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, and the many other Black civilians murdered by police.
