 Defend Black Lives Mobilization\n\nJuneteenth is a day that commemorates 
 Black liberation from slavery, honors Black freedom and Black resistance, 
 and centers Black people’s unique contribution to the struggle for 
 justice in the U.S. This Juneteenth is a rare moment for our communities to 
 proclaim in one voice that Black Lives Matter, and that we won’t tolerate 
 anything less than justice for all our people.\n\nIn response to the deaths 
 of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless other Black 
 people who have been killed at the hands of vigilantes or law enforcement, 
 millions have taken to the streets with a clear and distinct call to end 
 police violence and to defund police. Combined with COVID-19 and four years 
 of Trumpism, Black communities are 
 demanding:\n\n--Justice\n--Accountability\n--Divestment from 
 policing\n--Investment in healthy, sustainable communities\n\nThe millions 
 of us are here to remind lawmakers that we are bigger than monied 
 interests, including police unions and right-wing think tanks. We know the 
 path away from this disaster. After years of anti-Black violence and 
 animosity for Black life, we demand the defunding of police and an 
 investment in Black communities. \n\nWe also call for the resignation of 
 Donald Trump, who met our calls for justice with a brutal wave of 
 repression that has added fuel to the fire of racism and systemic 
 inequity.\n\nM4BL Demands: https://sixnineteen.com/demands/\n\nM4BL
