Social media posts are black today. An initiative from solidarity, an act against racism, standing together.
Speaking up is always an option. And therefore it’s a decision. But rarely it’s the easy decision. Rarely it’s the path of least resistance. And you will never know what happens next. It’s that uncertainty that you must embrace if you want to see change. Not acting is a decision as well, and you will live with the consequences.
In what world do you want to live?
Martin Luther King spoke up.
Colin Kaepernick acted.
Nelson Mandela spoke up.
Aritha Franklin spoke up.
Barack Obama spoke up.
Side by side we stand. We must speak up. We must act. For being silent is approval of the status quo.
