Justice for George Floyd.

The wheels of justice are criminally slow, but sweeping institutional change must occur NOW before we can even think of healing our hopelessly divided and wounded nation…

1. All 4 officers involved in George Floyd’s murder need to be charged NOW.

2. Derek Chauvin’s charge should be upgraded to 2nd degree murder (a long shot, but should).

3. All nationwide Mayors and Police Chiefs must IMMEDIATELY adopt the policing strategies/tactics outlined by the Black Lives Matter organization to dramatically reduce these violent incidents.

4. Non-violent protests must continue across the nation to hold officials feet to the fire until they act.

5. City, State and Federal Government must not escalate the situation by inviting military tactics to stamp out peaceful protests.

6. We all must VOTE as if our lives (especially the lives of African-American’s) depend on it.

There is so much more to overcome, but we have to start somewhere.

@theholenyc assembled a covid-safe art fair booth in their quarantined gallery space in NYC & included a couple of my new oil on linen paintings.

Stay safe everybody!

I am so grateful to all health care workers reporting for duty to what will assuredly be many months of terrible suffering to come & at great personal risk. I can only hope our federal and local responses rapidly pull together to provide the desperate need for equipment & PPE. Please everyone stay safe & healthy & I hope you are quarantined with people you love. .
