Blackout and play eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence to honor George

Floyd, Ahmad Arbury, Brianna Taylor, and pay tribute to the many other victims of racial violence.

And in the show notes, we'll link to organizations that are doing the anti-racist work to reform our power structures in this country, from law enforcement to our

help and attention.

and I'll be seeking them out listening to them.

And I hope you'll do the same.
