Like many, I was horrified to watch the recent murder of George Floyd.

I have always felt that my path to promote peace in the world is to promote peace in oneself. I cannot rid the world of all injustice. And yet…

Silence can be construed as consent, and I do not consent to a world in which people are systemically oppressed, beaten, and killed simply for the color of their skin.

I realize that these things have been going on for some time. ‘Enough is enough’ happened a long time ago. I have been raised in white privilege and have missed a great deal. I know that there’s a lot I don’t know.

So for starters, I just donated to, and became a member of Color Of Change, a Black-led racial justice organization fighting campaigns for political, corporate and media accountability and change in our country.

They’ll send you actions you can take to support Black people and allies, invite you to events in your city, and it’s free to join.

I am sure there are some who will find fault with something I say or don’t say in this post. But I will no longer allow fear of saying the wrong thing to keep me from speaking out. I do not wish to consent to violence by silence.
