Earlier this summer, we partnered with Women for Political Change @mnwfpc to help them in their goal of providing gender-affirming care packages for BIPOC trans youth in the Minnesota, MN area!

The City of Minneapolis finally accomplished what it set out to do on May 25, 2020, finally put George Floyd in confinement behind bars and rebar and concrete.

From my time in George Floyd Square today, I can tell you that the somberness and pain is palpable. The barricades that marked this sacred space were taken down by the City of Minneapolis before the sun rose today.
The energy at GFS is resilient but resiliency is exhausting.

I recommend everyone make a list of 911 alternatives for different emergencies they can reference in time of crisis. I made one back when Defund the Police really started picking up steam and Twitter was sharing a lot of alternatives

i’m no longer in the business of debating whether killer cops should be jailed and convicted because i think it’s a fruitless conversation. i just want people to stop calling the act “accountability” and “justice.” there is no such thing as justice for the dead.
Women for Political Change retweeted
no i don’t think black kids should have to go to class after another black man has been slain by this police state. do black people ever get the time to mourn???
Women for Political Change retweeted
I’m deeply insulted just by how anyone is expected to function normally or carry on with business as usual. These police killings continue to evoke images of the whipping post. We’re all made to witness this brutality by our gov’t & then told to get back to work.

QUICK GUIDE TO DRESSING FOR PROTESTS ✊
Keep yourself safe when tear gas and rubber bullets start flying.
Cover yourself and your crew from press, security cameras, AND cops.

"Law enforcement has shown us again and again the tactic they are most capable of and comfortable with using in our communities: escalation and violence... We must reimagine safety in our cities beyond policing alone." —@ISAIAHMN isaiahmn.org/2021/04/12/inco…
