Justice Warriors 4 Black Lives

Glad to say it seems folks were able to disperse without arrests! Thanks to all who volunteered to be Jail Support, just in case. If you're interested in trainings on jail support with a Black liberation praxis, keep following us #onhere.

This too is policing. Cops running away.

Lordt! Thanks, brotha, I needed this cackle laugh!

[Justice Warriors 4 Black Lives @jw4bl]

So far, folks are raising their voices, skateboarding and holding the street in support of Black lives without police breaking it up. We know another crew of cops generally appears at dark. Continue to follow us to see how to help if support for protesters is needed!

“How can it be racist if the police are Black?”

BECAUSE THE INSTITUTION OF POLICING ITSELF IS RACIST

The goal is DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE and get away from them!
But if your lips just cannot stay shut...
@jw4bl Freedom Mantras -
1. Am I free to leave?
2. I don't want to talk to you.
3. I want my attorney.
4. I do not consent.

When Black people say we are tired of being sick and tired, white people think that means we feel defeated and hopeless. No, this is what that means.

THREAD: We've been seeing NAMI (Nat'l Alliance on Mental Illness) Chicago listed in several resource lists circulating on here & insta. NAMI Chicago is *NOT* an alternative to police, they actively partner with police.

Father's Day is a good day to remind people that all phone calls and video calls for incarcerated people should be free in every prison and jail across the country. Not just during a pandemic, not just during holidays, not as a special privilege. But for everyone, all year round.

[Justice Warriors 4 Black Lives @jw4bl]

@kmontenegro Me too, and yes, they are.

Not easy, but one area where we stay on offense. Get the resources and the representation to invest those resources in our communities!

Important @LATACO piece describes horrifying LAPD treatment of #GeorgeFloyd Solidarity protesters -- especially gender nonconforming and WOC arrestees.
