Stand against racism

The wave of violence spreading across the United States is shocking, even as the growing protests are understandable. It boggles my mind that this country, the “land of the free”, is still mired in deeply routed racism, and inequality.

Every society has its challenges, certainly. Israel is no different. We have divides of our own. Despite that, it’s up to each of us to move beyond those divisions.

As I mentioned on Twitter earlier:

It’s the 21st century, this shouldn’t still be an issue to fight for. Racial equality should be a given. ✊

Many organisations are sharing ways that we can support the protests against inequality. Here’s a post from Automattic that you may find helpful: Support the Fight Against Inequality: Resources and Ways to Act – The WordPress.com Blog.

    The world feels more than a little crazy at the moment. Relative to what 2020 has been so far, that’s saying a lot. Lately, I’ve felt a bit like we’re in free fall, pretending that the air rushing past us as we hurtle down is just a refreshing breeze on a Spring day. It’s almost as if we’re all desperately hoping it can be ok again, faking it until we make it (if we do).
