A few weeks prior to the verdict in the George Floyd murder trial, David Gray wrote a reflection entitled "Preparing for Daycare" about how his family moves through the world because of complex systems of racism and oppression. The post quickly went viral across Facebook, where Tara saw it in her news feed. This week, Tara passes the mic to David for his thoughts about how to work towards equity and justice.
