What happened to Yvonne has exposed a deep need to dismantle systemic racism in our community. Like the police murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and so many others, the underlying issue is a de-valuing of Black lives due to anti-Black racism. The fight for Black Lives is inextricably tied to the fight for liberation for all marginalized communities. Check out these community resources to join the fight for collective liberation.
