On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, Minnesota. George Floyd's death was the catalyst that birth and created Moms Allyship Against Racism (MAAR).
His life and his legacy should never be forgotten. George Floyd was a human being cut down by forces of systemic bigotry and brutality that have stolen Black lives for centuries.
Much like Rodney King's beating, George's savage murder showed the world that racism and police brutality truly exist.
Once America and the world saw the video of police officer Derek Chauvin with his knee on George Floyd's neck and, hear the helpless cries from George like an injured child for his "Mama", you couldn't ' unsee or unhear" the torture he was being subjected to endure. He died right before our eyes. To ignore this type of brutality is inhumane.
In his death , the name George Floyd has become synonymous with the largest global civil rights movement in history, spurring protests in solidarity across roughly 60 countries. ,
In the months before and after Floyd’s murder, many more Black and brown lives have been senselessly lost to state violence—Breonna Taylor, Ma’Khia Bryant, Daunte Wright, Tony McDade, Adam Toledo, among others. Each of these tragedies reveal to some the anti-Black racism that has long been evident and experienced by too many. And they challenge us to dismantle racial inequality and white supremacy in all its forms.
MAAR is committed to combating the fule of hate, by educating to eradicate hate.
We remember our brother and son George Floyd.
We say his name:
George Perry Floyd Jr. We Speak You Name.
You have become a seed planted to eradicate injustice and police brutality.
