In #BoulderCouncil tonight @sampweaver took a historic moment for Natives in #Boulder and then goes on #NotAllCops rant.

Dude. Just listen.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Exciting moment tonight where #BoulderCouncil decides to establish #IndigenousPeoplesDay in #Boulder.

Lots of great speakers and turnout!

Amazing turnout at the #BlackLivesMatter #BoulderSURJ meeting here at UUCB - over 250 visitors so far and counting!

Marissa: if you ask a person of color where they are from, you may be denying that they are more local than you are. Micro-aggressions.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Marissa: take the Harvard implicit bias association test for racism.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Audience member (WOC): share stories. Tell the truth. Keep showing up. Be receptive when people of color express their experiences.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Audience member: we must with with and hold @CUBoulder accountable to making it more inclusive for people of color. Fac/staff and students.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Audience member: I'm tired of being one of few white men in the room. We need to talk to men!!

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Action idea from the audience: when a barista @Starbucks asks your name, say #BlackLivesMatter and you will normalize the hearing of it.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

We are getting numbers in: 270+ head count, $2k+ raised for @BLM5280.

Yes! Thank you!

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Question: does Boulder tend to have a lower arrest rate at actions?

Answer: yes, especially relative to Denver.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Suzy: know why you're there when you're at actions.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Suzy: know who action organizers are. Stay true to their intentions.

[Boulder SURJ @SURJBoulder]

Suzy: we need white bodies on the front line! That means putting yourself between police and POC if necessary.
