DAUNTE WRIGHT
This week, once again, we're reeling from senseless violence all over the country. Daunte Wright, a 20-year old father was shot by a police officer during a routine traffic stop last Sunday. On Thursday, graphic and heartbreaking bodycam footage was released of 13-year-old Adam Toledo being killed by a Chicago police officer after the seventh grader put his (empty) hands in the air. And later that same day, a former FedEx employee stormed a company facility in Indianapolis and killed eight people, injuring seven others. It's hard to process the collective grief we're all feeling right now, but I'm pushing myself to take action in the face of feeling helpless—and angry. If you're looking to do the same, consider donating to the ACLU Illinois, which is fighting for police accountability, or to Daunte's family, or to Chicago Freedom Schoolto support protestors on the ground. Or, join the fight for gun safety being led by Everytown. Or do your own research and put your money and time to work in the best way you can. But do something.
