ONE DOWN & 2 TO GO.

Yesterday Justice for George Floyd was served. Our heart goes out to George Floyd's family❤.

The fight is far from over, let's continue to fight the system.

For many people, Justice is still elusive.

Whatever you feel about the verdict, It's not over. We have to keep fighting for our rights.

No Justice, No Peace.

There is still so much more we have to do to survive and to be treated equally.

The only race is the human race🙏🌹🇨🇦

"May you now rest in peace George Floyd" 📌
