It is important to recognize that racial struggles across the globe are connected. If you are concerned about what is happening in Minneapolis, you should also be concerned with stuggle and violence occurring elsewhere. A portion of the proceeds will also be moved to SAGE Clan Patrol Saskatoon. #yxe
