What we saw in Buffalo is the modern-day equivalent of a race riot meant to terrorize and silence Black people. It is the latest in a surge of violence\u2013on January 6, in El Paso, in Charleston. These attacks are sanctioned by political movements that use racism to divide us and pit us against one another. We will never create the green and peaceful future we all want if racist systems continue to divide and exploit us. The powerful use that division to profit from the destruction of the environment and to strip us of our dignity, our health, our livelihoods, and all too often, our lives. But we will not be silenced in the face of hatred and racism. We will not be divided. We will stand together and fight against white supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These attacks are sanctioned by political movements that use racism to divide us and pit us against one another.
