I know many of us are once again grief stricken by seeing horrifying violence against another black American. Only a few weeks ago we grieved for Ahmaud Arbery who went for a jog in his neighborhood and was killed; we grieved for Breonna Taylor ...
who was killed in her own home; now this time we grieve for George Floyd who had the life choked out of him by a police officer kneeling on his neck. As a white person, it is often hard to know how to respond. To my black friends, neighbors, and community members, please know...
that I see what is happening and bear witness to this suffering. It's painful both because I see the suffering of another human being and their families, but this grief is then magnified by the horror and injustice of the deaths.
I see the racism that drives this violence, and it is unacceptable. I also know that there are many other times events like this have happened in our own community and in communities around the country...
but they have not been caught on video and so may have received less attention or even been ignored. One of the reasons I chose to run for office was that I was sick of feeling helpless in the face of injustice. Please know, as a candidate for office, but also as a human being,
with work to do in this world, every day I recommit myself to building a community and a country that is just,one where we address, head on, the systems and structures of racism, and one where every mother and father,
regardless of color of skin or background, wakes up in the morning, unafraid, and excited about the future for their children. Yours in hope and faith, Carolyn
Well said Carolyn and I look forward to watching you get sworn in next year!
I am crippled with nausea and impotent rage. I can’t imagine how people of color in this country are feeling.
Impotent is the word I've been looking for.
We need to make sure that this CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN..... IT'S HAPPENING TOO OFTEN...FOR TOO LONG
