    We're just going to leave this here. Taken from VO We're just going to leave this here. Taken from VOX ATL's James Rhee piece, "As America Watched George Floyd Die, I Was Staring at Officer Tou Thao. Here’s Why." ---- "Although the horror of the George Floyd video was centered around the white cop named Derek Chauvin, who had pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck, there was an equally sinister scenario unfolding right before our eyes. As an Asian teen, my eyes darted to the other cops, specifically Officer Tou Thao...Seeing someone with my cultural background doing nothing about the blatantly immoral actions right in front of him shook me to my core. It was then that I realized we, as an Asian community, have been doing the same thing for decades." ---- Click link in bio to read full story.

    VOX ATL's Lauren Ashe is back with another dose of VOX ATL's Lauren Ashe is back with another dose of truth. This time she's speaking on the dangers of "performative activism." Are you doing it for the people or for the 'gram? She writes: "In a world where “being woke” has become both a trend and a competition, many people feel inclined to show off their so-called wokeness in order to present a better version of themselves to the public, ultimately hoping to falsely paint themselves in a more positive light. It is more important to actually fight racist structures in real life rather than putting on a facade for social media."

    If you know a teen who could use $50 or $100, you should tell them to take the Atlanta Teen Survey. They can randomly get paid just for taking it or get paid for telling the most people to do it. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WZ7GPRV

    You should stop what you are doing and read what VOX ATL staff writer James has to say to his Asian community about how "our role in the culture of anti-blackness should be to stand with them and fight for their justice."
