Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang called on their colleagues in the music industry to halt business on June 2 to acknowledge the tragic cycle of Black death plaguing the country.

In the aftermath of the killings of Breonna Taylor , George Floyd , Ahmaud Arbery and others, the two Black women urged their colleagues from executives to artists to entire music companies to intentionally disrupt the workweek and have an honest, reflective and productive conversation about what needs to be done to support the Black community and fight racism.
