The camouflage of whiteness is protecting you during these moments of attack. Countless children and adults are now victims of hate crimes.

The camouflage of whiteness is a very convenient and wholly unearned protection. That protection comes at a cost: our safety and our lives.

The camouflage of whiteness gives you a cover we don't get right now. Check in. Conspire. Speak out. Hold space for us.

At this exact moment, white silence is complacency. What's happening to us is made possible by your obedient nods toward oppression.
