Friends of DeSoto For Justice

The Greatest Generation supports Black Lives Matter and activists fighting systems of white supremacy. While these issues are not always leading in the headlines, we believe it is urgent that we replace our racist system of justice with a system that treats people with dignity, and focuses on expanding opportunity and uplifting communities of color, rather than punishment and mass-incarceration.



The deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and too many others were crimes, and their murderers must be brought to justice. The acts of violence perpetrated against those that protest these crimes are further examples of a broken system that our society must address immediately. We must end white supremacy.


We’re asking you to join us by contributing to this cause.
