This moment in time belongs to Black Lives Matter and the fight to protect African Americans from the police violence that rages throughout our nation. This horror needs to stop NOW.
I was a bit defensive at first that the BLM protest at Netroots Nation inconvenienced my candidate, but you know, that's a very small price to pay. I'm glad that BLM had the bravery it took to make their righteous protest. I embrace their cause as my own. We're all in this together.
And please stop saying 'all lives matter.' That other lives matter goes without saying, and saying it at this moment serves to diminish the all important message that Black Lives Matter - whether or not that was intended. When we stop the police violence against African Americans, we'll get on with our regularly scheduled program. Until then everyone needs to step up.
Black Lives Matter NOW.
#BlackLivesMatter
The violence stops NOW. Let's make it so. Demand it.
