Hand at the Wheel

Eight minutes and 46 seconds are etched in our minds forever. That is how long former and convicted police officer Derek Chauvin pushed his knee into George Floyd’s neck, suffocating and murdering him in public one year ago today. His death also symbolically represents the centuries of dehumanization of Black bodies across our nation beginning with the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1619. The list of names of all the Black individuals who have lost their lives at the hands of police violence, transphobia, and belief systems that reinforce false notions of white supremacy are too many to name.

Black Lives Statistics
Did you know:

Black people are three times more likely than white people to be killed during a police encounter (Harvard School of Public Health June 2020);
Black drivers are more likely to be stopped by the police and three times more likely to be searched in comparison to white drivers;
Black people are four times more likely to experience the use of force during encounters with the police;
Once convicted of a crime, Black individuals receive longer and harsher sentences for the same offenses compared to white individuals.
