The path of oppression comes from a long line of colonialism. One will even walk without shoes to escape from it Welcoming migrants meant Africans, indigenous tribal members and it meant Latin America. This is about displacement, wars and political warfare.

The mutual aid community in DC has shown the international community how to welcome displaced folks with dignity and kindness. We've Done A Lot In The Past Year. We attended Mayor Bowser's birthday party! Celebrated Halloween. Testified in front of council.

@AskLyft second part : he has those keys which are btw their work keys. She can’t call the driver cause his number is disconnected and Lyft is refusing to assist her
@AskLyft we are taking this public - one of our people left keys in a car and we know we are responsible for anything left behind so this person is trying to take responsibility and has been trying to get a hold of the driver who btw himself messaged our friend to tell them that
One year ago today, Gov Abbott sent the first bus of migrants from Texas to DC. In response, the DC community welcomed folks with dignity & formed the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network (MSMAN). We are still going strong today!🧵

2. That you don't care about school push out and ending the school to prison pipeline and 3. You are more worried about policing our young people than actually keeping them safe. "
Lead Organzier & DC Public Charter School graduates, Ceon shared, "Choosing to [put police back in schools] is irresponsible and says 1. You don't care about the harm Black, brown, and youth with disabilities are experiencing at the hands of police.
Young person, after young person, talked about the trauma, harassment, fear that is experienced due to the presence of school police. Why are you willing to gamble with the emotional and physical safety of Black youth?
A few suggested that police in schools would never cause harm to a child. All while this news was quietly released. @CMBrookePinto this is NOT a matter of "training". Maria from @adv_project testified, "Police in schools IS the violence." This is a prime example of that.
We spent all day at MPD hearing yesterday, MOST witnesses were clear that they did NOT want police in schools for these exact reasons. Some you can see were struggling with whether it should be police or others supporting schools with safety concerns.
🧵First- we hope that the two Black 3rd GRADERS and their peers receive the mental & emotional support they need to start healing from this violent, avoidable act. Second- Police do NOT belong in schools!

.@MayorBowser@DCPoliceDept 17 year old Dalaneo Martin was killed by Park Police this morning. The City took his lifeless body away as a John Doe while his mother and family cried screamed & beg to identify him. Debo is a person that was treated like property. #BlacklivesMatter
The character assassination will be in full force soon since it was police gun violence that took Debo’s life. They will dehumanize him in order to distract the public from the facts and convince us he deserved to die incident or not.
But THIS is Debo and his 5 month old son.
