About This Issue

I was born by the river in a little tent/
Oh and just like the river I've been a-running ever since/
It's been a long time, a long time coming/
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

The killing of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 has reignited calls to defund the police and for society to recognize systemic anti-black and other racism.
