"It will take each of us to confront the injustices that continue to perpetuate a broken system that has taken countless Black Americans’ lives. It will take people of every race, creed, and gender identity to speak up and to act. Now is the time to have those uncomfortable conversations about racism with family, friends, and neighbors. It’s time to have honest discussions about our country’s dark history of discrimination and confront the fact that structural racism lives on in our policies and everyday life. And it’s time for all of us—not just some—to speak out against racism." - Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris . . . #racismisasickness #healracism #healracismUSA #healinjustice #voicesofracialhealing #endracism #confrontinginjustice #kamalaharris #wearamask https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_N0-YL3ZQ/?igshid=13jmd86zg382u
