We stand against the many forms of state violence: police killings, mass incarceration, poverty and others.  We stand for justice for Tony Robinson and ALL Black lives lost at the hands of the state. We stand for community and self determination. We will not stop until we are free.

Eric Upchurch for Madison365 on All Lives Matter

YGB's Eric Upchurch wrote a powerful article for Madison365 about how the phrase "All Lives Matter", while of course true in a literal sense, is anti-progress when used as a contradictory response to the phrase "Black Lives Matter", because denying the truth of an oppressed community is an act that stands in the way of freedom and self determination.
