Many people will turn George Floyd into a martyr today. We must fight to remember that he did not *give* his life for justice, for our movement, for an uprising. He wanted to live. He fought to live.

It’s official, the San Francisco Unified School District is launching a Samoan Immersion Program in its system. Our students will be able to learn Samoan starting as early as Pre-K. As both a Samoan and SFUSD graduate, I am so damn proud of our people and city.

Every photo op of cops cleaning graffiti, giving out food, & yes, seemingly wholesome shit like removing bees is meant to be a distraction. Doesn’t change inherent violence of policing. Other workers can & should be doing these jobs. It’s the city’s job to fund that workforce.

Spread the word #blackaugust
