Black & Latinx residents in Massachusetts continue to face disproportionate rates of #COVID19.
This pandemic is a crisis within a crisis for communities of color, and I’m fighting for targeted, race-conscious policies to deliver the relief they need. https://t.co/zXO6hmiYDD
As newsrooms reckon with systemic racism and discrimination, we collected the stories of former Black @latimes staff like @JeromeRCampbell. Here are their experiences. We demand change. #BlackatLAT https://t.co/YfwdIrbV4h
All roads lead back to #DC’s Black Lives Matter Plaza, and so we have returned. Protesters linked arms to create several lines & march in unison back toward the square, chanting, “What do we want?”
“Justice!”
“When do we want it?”
“Now!”
“If we don’t get it?”
“Shut! It! Down!”
I’m sure Bowser will try to blame it all on park police. But MPD was there, pepper spraying and beating people. You can remame all the streets you want Muriel but at the end of the day you keep sending your cops to brutalize the people of DC. #dcprotest
🚨This is a truly terrifying development.
Under the Trump administration's expansion of "expedited removal," ICE can snatch anyone off the street, anywhere in the US, and deport them in days if they can't prove that they're here legally, or have been here for at least two years.
@councilofdc meet @ChiefNewsham Rambo Cop.He was totally out of control and injured several unarmed constituents. @MayorBowser this is all your fault. You knew this Plaza was all about attacking Trump and you have created a war, @DCPoliceDept vs The People.The @MurielBowser show
Congrats to @MayorBowser and @DCPoliceDept, who decided to escalate three weeks of calm protests into an all-out skirmish with mace and beatings just to remove a few mutual aid tents where protesters were providing FREE FOOD on the street. #DefundMPD

This moment calls all of us into action. There are many ways show up in solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter and against state violence.
If you decide to protest in the streets or participate in jail support, here are some things to keep in mind.
