Hello Good Bi's full statement:
The bisexual community would be nowhere without our Black leaders, who since the inception of the LGBT rights movement have fought for our justice and equality, to live and love in peace. The police, who for their entire existence, have murdered Black people without consequence, protect and serve only themselves and white supremacy as an institution. The system that puts police in a position to murder Black people is not broken. It was intentionally designed to reinforce white supremacist power structures, and it must be dismantled. Additionally, Black transgender people face disproportionate rates of fatal violence, which often go unnoticed by media and unprosecuted by law enforcement. We want to be extremely clear: Black lives matter, Black trans lives matter.
Because identity, trauma, and grief are often discussed on this show, and because we so often advocate for communication as a healthy method for expressing emotions, we wanted to open our airwaves to Black members of the LBGTQ community, to say what you need to say in this moment. If you have something to say to us and/or the bisexual community that listens to this show, send an MP3 or wav audio file to hellogoodbis42069@gmail.com.
Stay strong and safe.
