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.

[FXBG Free @FXBGFree]

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

Tonight we will be meeting at the upper downtown greens garden to support and hear from survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Out of respect for everyone, we ask no cameras (no pictures or videos). Wear a mask and we hope to see you there. #fxbgva

Fredericksburg Police Department using unnecessary force on an innocent protestor and by trying to threaten her with a warrant that is non-existent. #Pigs #FredericksburgVA #FPD

Here’s an awesome thread of today’s protest. If you wanna get caught up, give this a scroll.

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

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.

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

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.

[Rappahannock DSA @rappahannockdsa]

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.

[FXBG Activists, Allies, and Change @fxbgaac]

Peaceful protest TODAY.
4:30 hurkamp park. hydrate, bring a friend, wear a mask, and we’ll see you there. #BLM #NoJusticeNoPeace 🖤

[Tara Murray @taralcmurray]

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!
