Quarantine Life: Black lives matter
Black lives matter.
If you don't believe that, there's no use you reading any further.
On May 25, four Minneapolis police murdered a man named George Floyd. Protests began the next day and continue to happen now.
I broke our stay at home plan on Sunday to attend a protest here in Decatur. It's not a brave move - it's literally the least I could do. I did not go to the protests in Atlanta, which is where police brutality was most likely to - and did - break out. I wish I was brave enough to do that, but I was not.
I am working to educate myself on being an active ally, and to get more involved with anti-racist organizations here in Georgia.
And I'm going to get a covid test, probably on Friday, for peace of mind.
