Lately, it has felt that every day brings new tragedy and heartbreak. The loss of lives from civilians standing up to racists and white supremacists is nothing new; it has been going on for generations before us. It\u2019s just that now we can watch it unfold live in the palm of our hands. \n\nToday\u2019s story is one of those heartbreaks. The story of citizens that wanted to stand up for what is right and were met with hate and death. When Demetria Hester, Micah Fletcher, Rick Best, and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche stood up against a coward, they had no idea that for some, their lives would change. For others, it would end. \n\nFor additional information and sources visit this week\u2019s MITR blog.\n\n\nThis week\u2019s episode is brought to you from Simplisafe. Great protection. Fair prices.
