In a uncertain time in our world history we as people had more time than ever due to covid dampening our daily lives. It was during this time the brutal murder of George Floyd was thrusted into the spotlight. Which brought about a need for change and justice within our country. During this time many protest came forth some where peaceful and some where filled with rage. But none the less it was a time of uniting on a cause that had been long neglected within our country. It was a issue we all knew was still a issue and yet we were blinded by everyday life. This was a time when we seen many faiths come out in protest against this unjustice. Here at the Devine witch we held our protest in support of our fellow brothers and sisters. To which we seen first hand what fear and bigotry had done to our society . Why was it that a cry for justice was meet with such backlash to the point it caused fear.
Over the last few months things have seemed to die down as justice was and is still being carried out . But have we forgotten to keep reminding ourselfs of the unjustice our fellow humanity has faced. For awhile it was changing of profile photos in support, blackouts so black creators and owners could have their moment. Because they had been blackballed by a system of oppression. So i ask what is it that we can do from here to keep the fight of equality alive . Now only for fellow brothers and sisters within the community , but for everyone fighting discrimination daily. The protest we had the new was not interested
it was the pagan twist that brought them out . Which should tell you how much media does not care about the injustice as long as the story will sell.
I write this to remind you that we must keep on talking and working with our fellow organizations . Who share the same dream of equality as we do. To remember those people who had injustices against them. Who still continue to be persecuted by the color of their skin instead of the character. We as witches have seen what persecution can do and the ever lasting effects it can leave. Just remember to not leave your brothers and sisters to be lost in the shadows of history.
