"Moving beyond protest and into policy, and looking toward progress...We want action and change... It's not just about Mr. George Floyd. It's about all of the George Floyds and it's about what else can be done...We want to continue the conversation in social change so we can make America great for the first time...We need police. We also need severe police reform... We have to step back and consider what really needs to change. " - Juanita Reopelle, Project for Change
