Rise Up
now

Rise Up for Renee Nicole Good I used to believe in safe, in this country, at least That’s gone, none of us secure anymore We can be shot in our car on the street through the walls of our homes in a school, oh my God, in a school Wrestled to the ground and smothered for being the “wrong” color How can color be wrong? for loving the wrong person How can love ever be wrong? Rise up. Stand in your truth peacefully lovingly Rise up!



May we wake up, rise
to the risks of what’s real now.
Respond, resist, stand.
