A reflection on the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder from our Development & Administrative Director, Jennifer Jones

“We can be one, but we need to and should acknowledge our differences, our stories, our traumas, and our victories. He did not wish to die — he wanted to live. I recognize that George Floyd did not lay down his life for a movement, but a movement was birthed.”

“…just keep a covenant every day; that you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind into someone that will not injure, but one that is always learning and always loving.”
