YOU ARE INVITED TO THE FIRST ANNUAL #RunWithMaud 5K this May in Atlanta! 

The race will be held in person in collaboration with atlantatrackclub but will also have a virtual option for those who can’t make it here. 

Wanda Cooper-Jones didn’t choose to be an activist. She was thrust into the role because her son was murdered. And yet, she is powerful and remains warm, kind, FUNNY! Most of all, she is dedicated to a future where Black boys won’t ever have to worry about #RunningWhileBlack and get access to the mental health resources they need.

One month ago, runners from around the world came together to honor Ahmaud Arbery on the anniversary of his racially-charged murder by participating in #runwithmaud.

Supporting Ahmaud's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, in turning a moment of hate into a movement of love has been one of the most impactful and significant projects our team at BREAKTHRU Brands has ever been involved in. Her leadership of the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation is remarkable, and we are proud to stand with her in creating safe spaces for Black boys to run freely.

We invite everyone to join us in continuing to #runwithmaud all year long. You can learn more about the foundation's mission and upcoming races on their website: https://www.ahmaudarberyfoundation.org/events/.

It is vital that we continue to support their efforts to promote safe and equal opportunities for Black boys. Let us all come together to turn tragedy into progress and love.

Like me, Mr. Arbery loved to jog and stay in shape. Like me, he was intrigued by gutted buildings and construction sites.
.
Unlike me, he was murdered in broad daylight by two thugs who thought it was okay to chase and shoot him for doing what I like to do.
.
Somehow jogging and looking at construction sites is innocuous when you’re me, but a capitol offense when you’re Black... enforceable by a father-son team of self-important, self-appointed vigilante thugs. According to some interpretations of Georgia law, this is ‘allowable.’
.
Ahmaud Arbery. Say his f***ing name and don’t forget it.

Texas weather is crazy. It was 27 degrees (windchill of 15) with 25 mph wind gusts this morning when we started our run. I knew if we didn't get it in early today, it wouldn't happen at all. Sleet and freezing rain is forecasted for the rest of the day. How was Monday 85 degrees?! Now, we are under a freeze warning! 🥶🤣

I wanted to get a short run in at least to honor #runwithmaud and we did just that. Finished our 2.23 miles plus a little more to start off the day. 

I encourage everyone to get out and run or walk 2.23 miles today. #werununited

Not much to say about this one. This one should have been easy. The fact that we were all collectively on pins and needles, not knowing if the verdict would come out the way it should is sad and very telling about the state of affairs in our country. God bless Ahmaud’s mother, his family, and his friends. Justice will never truly be served because Ahmaud is gone forever, but, the legal system worked this time. Now lock these bastards up forever. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #justiceforahmaud #runwithmaud #fuckracism #usorelse #getdownorlaydown #keeppushing smstrialattorneys

I will NEVER support abolishing the police. The Detroit police helped me during the most vulnerable and devastating time of my life.  They arrested the mfer who drugged and raped me.  They also were a witness on my behalf. Thank you! I will always support the detroit_police! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

However, I do NOT support police departments who use the justice system to hide their dirty laundry - racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, ... you know, the shit that supports and continues to propel America’s dark history. 😞 

I support and promote the restructuring of police departments that use their badge to promote racist ideologies; especially, those police departments that respond to areas populated with people of color. 

AND, people of color, who are police officers, thank you for being the change that’s needed. Thank you for your service! Keep up the great work! Keep doing right by the citizens and your culture. 💖

Yesterday marked one year since the gruesome, despicable and deplorable murder of Ahmaud Arbery. A young man who was hunted down and killed while jogging. 

Thinking back to this time last year I was struck with a sobering realization. While his mother was mourning and his killers roamed free, most of us had no idea about his story or what happened until months later. 

And then everyone seemed to know once there was that video. 😞

That video that led so many to say their eyes were open, as they proclaimed that they finally saw what they hadn’t previously.

This pivotal moment proved itself to be just the beginning of last year‘s Uprising, the black squares, the anti-racist book lists and everybody apparently getting the memo to dial a Black friend. 

There were SO MANY “I’m sorry’s”.

But today I’m wondering what happened to all those eyes that were opened, all that willingness to lean in, and all that energy. 

Have you continued on this journey or has the comfort of going back to business as usual lured you in once again?

I hope for Ahmaud’s sake and the many others you will take this question into serious consideration. 

Because while your silence continues to be violence, some of us are too traumatized and afraid for our lives to ever jog again.

I have learned and grown so much in that time period - and I did it at my OWN pace. It’s okay to learn the things you need to know when you need to learn them. There is no rush.  Stay consistent & trust the process ❤️ and don’t forget to do it in a way that you ENJOY!

I watched a black man get shot. In the back. In front of his children. End up paralyzed. And it’s fucking traumatizing. 
🤬
I don’t need to treat Jacob Blake to know how he’ll be treated 
•
Navigating a world and healthcare system designed to fail black men, especially black men with disabilities, is far more difficult than learning how to navigate curbs in a wheelchair 
•
Blake won’t have the same chance for recovery. Spinal cord injury clinics and the medical equipment needed to sustain quality of  life are too expensive, knowledgeable providers are too few and far between
*
Because his mechanism of injury has been made so public, so visual, so political, his medical team will have already prejudged his character.  He’ll have to place his life in the hands of people who may or may not see him as a threat, AGAIN!!!
•
Being newly paralyzed is a already a physical and mental nightmare. As a therapist my heart breaks, as a black woman I could punch a wall , Because I know being paralyzed isn’t the only battle he’ll be fighting for the rest of his life 
•
If you think it’s hard standing firm and trying to convince the world that your life matters, Imagine having to do it, seated  in a wheelchair, when the entire world is already looking down on you

It’s been two years since Ahmaud Arbery was murdered by three white men in Georgia. Yesterday, Ahmaud's killers were found guilty of federal hate crimes. While yesterday's verdict is meaningful because it holds the guilty accountable, true justice would be Ahmaud being alive today.

Today — and always — we're thinking of Ahmaud's mother, loved ones and community.

The Ahmaud Arbery case was a tragic example of a hate crime, and we should continue to educate ourselves and others about the harm caused by hate and discrimination. It is crucial that we stand against hate in all its forms and work towards creating a society where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. 

Everyday, we shall honor the memory of Ahmaud Arbery and all victims of hate crimes. We must commit to doing the work necessary to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background. Let’s keep fighting for justice and equality, and make sure that Ahmaud’s legacy lives on.

Today, let’s remember the wise words of Barack Obama: ‘Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.’ It’s up to each and every one of us to be the change we want to see in the world. Don’t wait for someone else to take action, take the first step yourself. Together, let’s create a brighter future for all.
