Thank you so much to everyone who showed up today!

We were worried and expected 20-30 people, but instead, closer to 100 folks in our communities came out to support. Though we were still outnumbered by the pro-cop group, we ended up taking over the steps after they disbanded.

The cell phone camera has offered more protection to Black Americans than any law enforcement agency, court, prosecutor, elected official, or news organization.

For people (like me) who lack the words and vocabulary in their parent’s or relative’s native languages to explain the BLM movement, this is a google drive of the Letters for Black Lives project with final (and pending) translations.

“If police reform worked, we wouldn’t be here right now. Minneapolis has been a poster child for police reform... we tried it; it didn’t work.”

The numbers tell a very clear story.

“Every white person in this country - - I do not care what he/she says -- knows one thing. They may not know, as they put it, 'what I want.' But, they know they would not like to be black, here. If they know that, they know everything they need to know...".

Interesting quote from an ER doctor who literally works at the very center of the outbreak.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

A front-line physician in Elmhurst, Queens, a neighborhood that was hit early and hard by the coronavirus pandemic, explains how closely socioeconomic status is tied to the disease.

Today, many immigrants are risking their health & safety on the frontlines of this pandemic. Many immigrants are struggling to pay bills & support their families.

I'm working with @AOC & @ReElectNydia to ensure they get the relief they need too. https://t.co/cD0F1PkBod
