BLACK LIVES MATTER

I feel the change. I attended a protest a few years ago. I left feeling more angry. More alone. This experience was fucking insane. The whole way there, even driving trying to find parking, people were showing support. Everyone’s cars were covered in signs, the entire downtown core was alive with people screaming black lives matter. White people. I’ve never seen this before. It’s always us screaming for us. They showed up y’all. Thousands and thousands and thousands of edmontonians showed up for us. Thank you. The work isn’t done. But I finally, for the first time ever, feel the shift happening. Say it with me, BLACK LIVES MATTER
