tenniscereal:The players of the WNBA used today to reflect. Following yesterday’s decision to stand in solidarity with NBA players and Black and Brown communities in Wisconsin and around the country, we will continue demonstrating our solidarity by not playing today. It is important to note that this is not a strike. This is not a boycott. This is affirmatively a day of reflection. A day of informed action and mobilization. Through ongoing conversations last night, in person, and discussions through the morning through extensive text messages, we recommitted to the justice movement, the platform for our advocacy and recommitted to the Say Her Name campaign. We are doubling down on our previous calls to action to contact local officials and demand reform. Register to vote and show up on Election Day. Complete the 2020 census and be counted. Today we call upon Kentucky attorney general, Daniel Cameron, to arrest the officers who killed Breonna Taylor. Today we call upon the Wisconsin attorney general, Josh Kaul, to investigate the officers who were involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake. Let us not let up seeking justice for Sandra Bland, Michelle Cusseaux, Shelly Frey, Korryn Gaines, India Kager, Kayla Moore, Layleen Polanco, Michelle Shirley, and other Black and Brown women who were victims of police violence. If you’re watching or listening and you understand the humanity in the movement for Black Lives and you recognize that your voice matters. Do not remain idle. Demand that your leaders step up and take real action. Do something, today. -- source link
