The Bethesda Group grieves the recent police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by the hands of police officers. Tragically these are just the latest examples of deaths caused by systemic racism and excessive violence by law enforcement towards black people in this country. We are heartened by the world-wide mass protests in the wake of these events and we have witnessed violence from law enforcement towards peaceful protesters. We stand with organizations like Black Lives Matter and millions of protesters in calling for nationwide police reform. We are proud of the active voices of protest and justice in our local communities. This is a photo from @fillthefence started by students at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
