Why not just say “all lives matter.” All lives matter, yes, we know that. All lives matter is just too easy to say. It overlooks the very cause which demands the rally cry, black lives matter! When we say "all live matter," we really say nothing at all. When we say "black lives matter," we say what needs to be said, heard and believed. Women’s lives matter. Indigenous lives matter. Queer lives matter. Yes! Absolutely! Yes! All lives matter. Sure we can say that, but now is the time to declared that black lives are lives too, and black lives matter. Let's not just said it, let's act like we believe it by standing up for our black sisters and brothers who have been oppressed for so long. Now is the time to join in solidarity with those who’s lives are so often taken for granted. Now it is time to fight against a long racist history in hopes for a better world to come. Black Lives Matter!
