Gretchen gets backup

EVERYONE'S TALKING

• Power moms speak out. A number of influential mothers are speaking up about the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

Kim Kardashian West wrote on her website about being a mother of a black son: "I do not ever want to have to teach my son to be scared of the police, or tell him that he has to watch his back because the people we are told to trust—the people who 'protect and serve'—may not be protecting and serving him because of the color of his skin."

Beyonce's website has transformed into a powerful call to action to the black community. It reads: "It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they stop killing us." The site also includes links to contact local representatives and voice protest online.

Lezley McSpadden, whose son Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Mo. in 2014, penned a powerful op-ed in the New York Times about the experience of being a mother in the aftermath of tragedy. "When their children are killed, mothers are expected to say something. To help keep the peace. To help make change," she wrote. "We are taught to be peaceful, but we aren't at peace."

All signs point to May becoming Britain's next leader. BBC

• Use your power for good. YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki wrote an impassioned post on the company's Creator Blog, asking the community of online celebrities to use their influence to "help us all figure out how to live together in respect, to lend support to the Black community, to Dallas and to all the victims' families."
