Good morning! I am a proud Bozeman native and mother of three. It is of upmost importance to me that mycommunity is one of love, support, and compassion! Being that we are a predominately white state, I believe manypeople are unaware of what our oppressed face on a daily basis. We need to continue an open dialogue and provideeducation to all those who are in power! This needs to start with all those who politically represent our state andtowns.I am also a proud supporter of our police officers! I am grateful for the safety they provide, while putting their ownlives on the line. With that said, I believe there should be zero tolerance. One strike and you are out. We can’t keepbrushing these issues under the rug! Abuse of power is a real thing and it needs to stop!I am very proud of the peaceful protest our city put together! I think we have started these tough conversations, butit can’t stop now!Thank you for your time!Lauren Dee
