Very proud to be a part of this. It’s no secret that this industry and their beloved gatekeepers are directly responsible for the pervasiveness of white supremacy today. We are demanding that all Hollywood institutions divest from the police. Divest from racist content. And, most importantly, INVEST in anti-racist content, Black people and our communities. Time is up on Hollywood racism. For good this time. Also shoutout to every single person who signed this letter. I know it’s not easy putting your name on the line for justice, but desperate times call for desperate measures and I have SO MUCH LOVE & RESPECT FOR Y’ALL! For us. ❤️ Read the full letter + demands at BLDPWR.com 🔥✊🏾 #Hollywood4BlackLives #BlackLivesMatter

LA really showed up & showed out today. 🥺😭 After such a brutal week, seeing the city come together like this has restored my faith in humanity. I love us so so much and truly do believe that we will win. We’re already winning. Let’s keep this same energy until we all free. ✊🏾 Now it’s time for some insecure... 😂 | 🎥: @yakooza

Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her 27th birthday today! She should be enjoying a drive by car parade with her friends & family. But instead, she’s gone. My heart has broken so many times for all of the Black women and girls we’ve lost to senseless police violence. And to know that her killers STILL haven’t been charged in the midst of this movement that has successfully demanded the arrests of #GeorgeFloyd’s murderers is a different kind of pain. We must fight for Black women! They are the PILLARS of our community. We must show up! Love to Breonna.

Just so we’re all clear, this is what @mayorofla ’s budget looks like AFTER the 5% cut he announced yesterday. If you think this is gonna cut it, you thought wrong. Graphic by @ktownforall ✊🏾 #DefundThePolice #BlackLivesMatter

He already has too much blood on his hands. Anyone still talking about “police reform” needs to wake TF up to what is happening. What is an 8 point plan going to do when the LAPD is already breaking protocol with ZERO accountability? This is what’s actually happening in LA right now and the mayor feels perfectly comfortable continuing to gaslight us while authorizing police terror and the erosion of our rights! He and the police must go. NOW! #DefundthePolice #AbolishThePolice #BlackLivesMatter

We must imagine an entirely new way of living in order to make it through to the other side of this! No amount of “police reform” will save us. The police have made it clear that they are not here to serve or protect us. So they must go! Think about what community services you’d like to see instead that actually preserve and enhance everyday life! Artwork by Luna Syenite via @theleap_org

How can the city afford all these tanks, helicopters & riot gear but not PPE for healthcare workers?! Because 54% (‼️‼️) of OUR MONEY is going directly to the police. And the murderous @mayorofla wants to increase the LAPD budget by MILLIONS. If these representatives who THE PEOPLE elected do not call an emergency meeting by TODAY, his bullshit budget will be automatically approved. And we all know what that means for us. Here’s what you can do. The voicemails are full so FLOOD THEIR INBOXES. Send this TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN LA ✊🏾 #PeoplesBudgetLA #CareNotCops
