As people of color, everywhere we go we breath in the hate of white supremacy – at work, in the streets, in media, on the news, even in movement spaces that claim to be in struggle with us. We want to remind ourselves and our comrades that we are still here not just because we survived hate, but because of the love we hold for each other, a love that spans showing up for each other, caring for each other, and protecting each other by any means necessary.
We send love out to our Muslim friends feeling vulnerable today. We will fight with you. We will fight for you.
