In partnership with The Nation, we’re amplifying the experiences of frontline workers and communities disproportionately affected by the upheaval of the Coronavirus––this week that extends to the current protests.

Laylah Amatullah Barrayn shares personal reflections from George Floyd’s memorial in Minneapolis.

I thought about how it seemed like, to many people, George Floyd’s death meant more than his life, how his death served as a catalyst for all that has followed. But for the people who knew him, and for the people who are demanding justice, we must fight to make his life more valuable than his death.
