My heart breaks to see innocent lives taken at the hands of police brutality.
I am sending strength and solidarity to all those brave enough to stand up for justice and take to the streets to protest.
Know that you are not fighting alone and that we stand alongside you in this time of tragedy.
The time to #EndSARS is now.
