It's not an 'either or' issue---------Black Lives Matter----Mental Health risks matter, Women's Rights matter---EQUALITY matters.
In the 60's when the Movement(s) were sparked it included Civil Rights, Anti-war, Gay Rights, Women's Rights and the growing Ecological movement, mental health care reform, reform of care for the elderly, the disabilities rights movement etc etc---It is not a contest, it is part of the same animal
[but yes we should, as a nation, apologize to and make reparations to native peoples and black Americans in particular]
Each movement seeks equality and measured response/thoughtfulness/a change in paradigm...new models...it comes in waves----Let's catch the Wave as it can bring us closer to shore--- & hope the 'good guys' win this one
closer to real Democracy.
