The Movement For Black Lives is demanding a divestment from the police and investment in black communities.

The music industry is taking a day to reflect on Tuesday as part of Black Out Tuesday/, an industry-wide effort to"disconnect from work and reconnect with our community."

"We're demanding an end to the war against black people, number one. Stop criminalizing us, stop incarcerating us, stop killing us in the streets and number two we're demanding a divestment from police and investment into black communities," she says. Tuesday's call also asks local elected officials to divert resources going to policing to instead focus on housing, healthcare and education.

"I think it's an important effort and it's what's best to get people in the music industry to get more deeply involved in local organizations and challenging how they've been business as usual. This is not a time to be business as usual," Cullors says of coordinating with #TheShowMustBePaused."Let's commit to real change and [today's] action will be one way that they commit to real change.

Black communities across the nation are mourning the deaths of George Floyd, tortured to death by Minneapolis police, Ahmaud Arbery, a jogger who was killed while running in a residential neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia, Breonna Taylor an EMT killed while asleep in her bed in Louisville,KY, Dreasjon Reed in Indianapolis and Tony McDade in Tallahassee. Their names are added to a devastatingly long list of Black people who have been killed at the hands of vigilantes or law enforcement.
