Things like this should not happen but they do. It takes an act of extreme acceptance to sit with it and not be consumed by hate. We must continue to take action to change the systems that allow this to go on. For this to change, empathy and willingness to show up is required by the people who benefit the most from this type of privilege of “us vs. them, “ of disbelief, of willful ignorance. Use your voice and your power - not so you can have more- but to uplift and empower those who who are being disregarded and treated as less than human, less worthy, less valid.
We need to do better.
