The justice denied to George Floyd
Derek Chauvin was just found guilty on all counts for the murder of George Floyd. This ruling is accountability, not justice. Justice would be if George Floyd were still alive -- and if Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities did not live under systemic racism, police brutality, and mass incarceration that destroys millions of lives. As a country, we must acknowledge the systemic racism that has been ingrained in the fabric of our nation since its founding. We must continue to work to establish a country where equal justice under the law is a reality for everyone and not an impossibility for Black, Brown, & Indigenous people.
