This June, Taylor Colbert alongside her friends organized a march at Marietta Square in response to the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and the other victims of police brutality. George Floyd's death catalyzed the Black Lives Matter movement and the rest of America to protest against the state. In this episode, we explore the value of community organizing and the co-optation of different thoughts such as ACAB, reform, and abolition.
