AnthonyThe tragic death of George Floyd and how his name has become a symbol of the racial injustice in AmericaJust how big is this current civil rights movement? (Spoiler alert: It's BIG!)How police have used violence and extreme measures to crack down on protests against police brutalityHow protestors are being treated as "guilty until proven innocent" by policePrecautions to take to protest in these uncertain timesIn the face of a system looking to drown us out, are we willing to make our voices heard?
