The Reverend Dr. William Barber challenged us to use our anger to change the world. We are angry, and therefore we are working to change the racist culture of policing in this country. Since Michael Brown's murder six weeks ago, brutal officers who had sworn to serve and protect have killed many people. Those lost lives matter. The killers took those lives from us and poisoned their families and friends with lifetimes of grief, despair, depression, and horror. A moment of silence while we honor their names and faces:
