In the last several months, we have witnessed the outcry of God’s people in so many ways—people wailing and moaning with tears of disbelief, death, and sickness.
In the midst of over 100,000 deaths and millions of people being infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19), people in our cities all over our nation are taking to the streets, protesting in anger against the wrongful, unjust, hateful, and unmerciful racist death of George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer right before the eyes of the world.
There is no justification for the tragedies that have been forced upon us; the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately affects African Americans and people of color, the death of George Floyd, the racist wrongful allegations made by Amy Cooper, the blatant racist attack, and the murder by a father and son perpetrated on Ahmaud Arbery.
Our God is a righteous judge and we are seeking a cease and desist indictment to be served against the injustice acts of our nation.
