still matters

Despite the misinformation and wrangling going on with CHOP/CHAZ, business support for protests in the neighborhood continues to be strong. Mostly.

On a recent walk, I was interested to see quite a lot of corporate or business signage that includes statements about Black Lives Matter.

Is this alignment a calculation? A statement of beliefs?

This is a pretty liberal neighborhood in a pretty liberal town, but ongoing pandemic restrictions + protests have likely hit small businesses directly in the wallet. I hope we're all getting takeout and tipping well.

I hope we're being the humans we need to be.

The second photo was taken of 2 businesses directly across the street from Amazon Go on Pike, which naturally has zero BLM signage and had many windows busted out during the riots.
