Bearcat Blues

Hi Friends and Supporters, We at Bearcat Blues have always stood in solidarity with the Black community. But there is so much more we could be doing to help #BlackoutTuesday and #TheShowMustBePaused Our dances and music was created and based off African American culture and we cannot ignore these origins as we continue to enjoy them.... With the amplification of BlackoutTuesday that is happening as of late, we've been taking the time to listen and reflect on the issues that has been plaguing our Southern counterparts. Protests over the recent deaths of George Floyd's, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and all the countless others in the past have sparked the uprising that is happening, we wish to help amplify those voices whom have been fighting so that they are heard. We implore that you take some of the time to read the issues and understand that while we are in Canada, the same issues exists here as well. Please take the time to LISTEN and take what actions you can to do your part. Listening and learning is the first step to understanding why these things are happening now, and will continue to happen if we don't dismantle our prejudice. One of the few actions we can take here locally, is to support and help existing groups who are fighting and lend our voices and support.
