1,252 black people have been shot and killed by police since January 1st, 2015 (NPR and The Washington Post). I want you to use these 1,252 seconds to educate yourself and contribute. Look at this document for petitions, places to donate, bail funds, and books to read. There is also a specific section of essential reading for theatre-makers that I encourage you to check out. Griffin Matthews, writer, composer, and lyricist of Witness Uganda (or Invisible Thread) speaks up about why Broadway is racist here. And last, but not least; use this time to be aware of who is creating the content you are consuming. Maybe begin listening to a podcast with a creator of color, or embark reading a play by a black playwright. America is based on capitalism; we create the world we live in through what we choose to consume.
