Researchers at @UW found that moving people into hotels from homeless shelters not only limits COVID-19, it also reduces conflict (fewer 911 calls), improves health and well-being, and results in higher rates of people moving to permanent housing. https://t.co/IVkj0dQ8vg

Did we mention that Josh Harris, who bailed out the officers that were charged, is friends with the judge who set the bail so low? #JusticeForManuelEllis

Manuel Ellis' family at press conference emphasizing that it was THEM that got @GovInslee to move investigation to @AGOWA. They put pressure on and don't have any political allegiances. "That's why people looked into it again because we wouldn't shut up." -- @tacoma_action

If you aren't familiar with Canoe Journey Herbalists take a look at their Facebook! They are focused on wild and nurtured spaces for indigenous healers and herbalists. They grow medicine and create salves for the Tribal Canoe Journey every year.

Happy Mother's Day all of the mothers who have lost their child to police violence. We made a promise to Manuel Ellis' mom to keep fighting beside her, until justice. Today we honor her.

Ed Troyer in particular lied about what happened in a tv interview while the investigation was ongoing.

He is listed as an official witness in the case. He obstructed justice.

It's #MMIW Awareness Day.

You can find all kinds of horrifying statistics.
But I want to tell you about Indigenous women.

We are born from survivors. Our mothers and grandmothers survived boarding schools and empty cupboards.

We're funny as hell. We laugh hard.
