In this episode, Matt Bowles contextualizes the U.S. uprising in the history of institutionalized white supremacy in the United States.  He discusses the lynching of George Floyd in the context of systemic racialized state violence.  He then talks about how police are currently attacking nonviolent protesters and journalists, and how the situation is quickly becoming militarized as the US Military is deployed to occupy U.S. cities.  He contrasts the way the police have arrested over 4,000 protesters in the last 72 hours for nonviolent offenses, as well as members of the press, but have NOT arrested 3 of the police officers that lynched George Floyd.  He then shares specific ways that you can support the Black Lives Matter movement and help seek justice for George Floyd from anywhere in the world. He shares phone numbers to call, petitions to sign, ways to pay for bail and legal support for demonstrators, and ways to financially donate to support movement work against racism and police violence in the U.S. Full Show Notes Available at www.TheMaverickShow.com
