NNPA NEWSWIRE — “Some had to pay fees. Some were tested. Many people died for that right. It is too important for us not to vote, and if we want to have a democracy, we need to participate in it. We can’t hope that situations will change. We have to be active in helping candidates get elected who will create that change,” said Lex Scott, the president of the Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter.

Around 200 people turned out Monday for a protest in a poor Nairobi neighbourhood against police violence linked to the deaths of 15 people nationwide since the authorities imposed a curfew to fight coronavirus.
Kenya's Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) reported last week it had received 87 complaints against police since the dusk-to-dawn curfew and heightened security measures were imposed on March 27.
In recent days, cities around the world have seen massive protests against racism and police violence prompted by last month's police killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man in the US state of Minnesota.
In April, Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused the police of imposing the coronavirus curfew in a \"chaotic and violent manner from the start\", sometimes whipping, kicking and teargassing people to force them off the streets.
On Thursday, the IPOA announced six police officers would be arrested and prosecuted - one for Moyo's death; another for shooting dead a secondary school teacher while responding to a burglary at a market in western Siaya; and four others for seriously assaulting a man during an arrest.

LOS ANGELES — During a discussion June 1 on the police protests occurring across the nation, Mayor Eric Garcetti said law enforcement departments must examine and improve the ways they recruit officers, how they train them and the oversight of officers they have in place.
Garcetti joined Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and mayors from across the nation for the discussion on the police protests, as well as the nation’s response to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden said he spoke with the family of George Floyd, the black man who was filmed being asphyxiated by a white Minneapolis police officer, using tactics that Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore decried last week.
“We do see not only the pent-up pain of the pandemic, but more the repressed rage of racism in this country, and those two things [collided] in a moment when people saw the latest chapter of this dark, dark book,” Garcetti said.
Garcetti also said it’s important for law enforcement to find less lethal methods of detaining people so that communities are not traumatized by police presence.
She and friend Sharon Jones-Scaife, an author/illustrator, have teamed up to write and illustrate a new book explaining coronavirus in simple terms for children.
The children’s book is called Maddie On A Mission.
The authors collaborated to write Maddie On A Mission to make it easy for children to understand why their worlds have changed so dramatically in the last few months, and to explain quarantine and social distancing in a story that young people can understand, and enjoy.
Dr. Waggoner adds, “Children have a lot of questions like, ‘What is a virus?’
“This book aims to provide a resource to help parents talk to their children about the coronavirus pandemic by discussing germs, quarantine, social distancing, and how staying at home can help to stop the spread of the virus,” Dr. Waggoner said.
Former President Barack Obama said Friday that he is “inspired” by the young people taking to the streets to protest against racism: “They’re saying we don’t accept the status quo.”
“Those people out on the streets — that’s a sea change,” Obama said in a virtual town hall titled “Mental Health and Wellness in a Racism Pandemic.”
“Older folks I think can learn from young people ― impatience,” the former president said, speaking of the massive protests around the nation and world against systemic racism and police brutality, which are largely being led by young Black activists.
“To see all of the young people ... not just men of color, but Black, white, Latino, Asian American, Native American, all of the young women, standing up, speaking out, being prepared to march,” Lewis said of the current protesters.
Stevenson — who is a death row lawyer and whose organization opened a museum in Alabama dedicated to victims of lynching — spoke of the long legacy of racism impacting generations of Black people in the U.S., from slavery through Jim Crow segregation to today.
