Every time a trans, queer, Black, Indigenous, and/or disabled person’s life is taken from us because of who they are, remember that there were so many opportunities to prevent that life from being taken way before it was taken from them.
Organizing in response to oppression is absolutely vital. And also, organizing in advance to stop oppression is absolutely essential as well.
There are countless opportunities to stop oppressive acts well before they happen.
Particularly if you are from any identity of privilege, so if you are cis, white, het, and/or abled, be committed to doing the work before, not only after.
We want a world where we’re not only responding to oppression but where we’re able to prevent it as well.
