The Black Lives Matter movement is still happening, and it’s still important. Just because it’s not front page news now doesn’t mean we can forget about it. You see the occasional sign in people’s yards and there are still organized demonstrations and protests, which is great. Equality for all people is something we must continue thinking about and fighting for. One of the most crucial concepts for citizens to understand is that an infringement of rights or general inequality for one group of people, even if you do not belong to that group, is a violation of freedom for all. You are your thoughts. Thoughts become words, and words in turn lead to action. Continuous action generates change. And as that cycle is reinforced and repeated, change becomes sustained. Keep thinking about the injustices in our society and how to correct them. Discuss these topics of significance with other people. And keep showing up. It won’t always be pretty or fast or simple, and will never be easy, but we can build a better world, one step at a time. If we are willing to put in the work, we can create the future we wish to see. Keep fighting the good fight.
