While some cases were found not guilty or dismissed, others were found guilty for violating curfew charges. This is not the end of the fight. Multiple people that were found guilty are appealing to the circuit court with some dates set in January. #BlackLivesMatter – at Virginia, USA

We will not give in to a city that wants to bully people for exercising their rights and punish protesters for standing up to an oppressive system. If you or someone you know owes fees or fines because of their involvement in one of these cases, please get in contact with us.

@ACLUVA know that this did not happen in Fredericksburg. Witnesses: @fredprotest @fxbgdsa @fxbgaac @TMCFXBG @FXBGFree @Leaders4Peace_

Know this: 1. When dispersing a protest, police must provide a clear order to protesters that they must disperse. 2. Police should provide both reasonable time and means to comply with that order. 3. You can use the VA Mobile Justice app to record police interactions.

i’m here in fredericksburg this evening for a black lives matter march. a flyer for this event was circulating this week in right wing circles, claiming the event would burn the city down. so far it’s just a small group of young people in a public park.

i gotta give it to these organizers - it was well marshaled, the chants were 🔥, i was offered hand sanitizer and snacks at regular intervals, and the de-escalation in the face of deadly force was flawless.

The protest in town was peaceful and well organized JUST LIKE THEY ALWAYS ARE. And these brave marchers kept their cool with armed goons harassing them. Much ❤️ to our friends in @FXBGFree.

Fredericksburg Commonwealth's Attorney is arguing that @FxbgGov does not need authority to limit freedom of movement and can do so and not give notice that any violation of such an order would be criminalized. WOW! Talk about advancing a police state. @ACLUVA we need you!
