On 25th May 2020, George Floyd died at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. As his name was added to the endless list of black people who have died as a result of systemic racism, the #BlackLivesMatter movement gained a groundswell of support on the internet and collectively shouted ENOUGH.
We were nervous about having this conversation, worried about saying the wrong thing but understanding white privilege and how we uphold the system is the first step in breaking it down. Staying silent just is not good enough.
So join us in our little imaginary 'pub' as we have the first of many conversations about the Black Lives Matter movement and how we can (and must) be better going forward.
