There will be a press conference tomorrow at 9am with the Wilson trial team at @southerncenter. Please continue to follow for more information about what’s next and how to support Marc.
Help us demand Judge Muldrew recuse himself by joining the phone bank! Call in using the provided script and phone number. Don’t stop calling until you get through. We need YOUR help. And don’t forget to share this with your friends and family so it’s #alleyesonstatesboro.
Went on @ZerlinaShow to discuss the legacy of Ahmaud Arbery after signing of repeal to Ga’s Citizens Arrest statute and what work remains for us - including @AJustGeorgia fighting for @JusticeForMarc_.
Thank you @ZerlinaMaxwell and look forward to joining you again soon. #GaPol
We lift up Mrs. Amanda Wilson, the mother of #MarcWilson. We believe Marc is coming home and are so grateful for your leadership on the Marc Wilson Solidarity Committee.
The BIGGEST, most recent, was the fact after a #guilty verdict, #DerekChauvin had his bond revoked!
Seriously, this is madness! If Marc had not survived, we would still have a hashtag.
A5: Movements gotta make connections. Connecting over same issues while respecting the local culture. No parachuting, no 'telling locals what they need; authentic Grassroots organizing, base building & aligned fronts #SeeEachOther#StandwithMarcWilson
A5: Big cities gotta check in with rural communities and FOLLOW their leadership! LEND skills so THEY can stand up FLANK their leadership and communities!
#StandwithMarcWilson
We HAVE to INVEST in rural organizing! All of our movement infrastructure and resources cannot remain concentrated in cities. And like @kc_dub25 said, we have to acknowledge, assess, and reduce the risk that prevents folks from getting involved. #StandWithMarcWilson
Folks in rural communities and small towns have been pushing back in small and large ways forever. "Making a way out of no way." Imagine what they could do with RESOURCES, with SUPPORT, with INFRASTRUCTURE. #StandWithMarcWilson
I think smaller communities tend to feel powerless and forgotten about in the grand scheme of things. How do we make them feel empowered? We have to help small communities realize that they are small but mighty. #standwithmarcwilson
I guess the question is how do we make local folks feel safe enough to stand for change? How do we facilitate an environment that folks know there isn’t a chance for retaliation from the “powers that be”??

Q5: Statesboro is a small community where cases like Marc’s often go ignored. What kinds of injustices are taking place in rural communities and small towns? How do we build a movement that includes small and rural communities? #StandWithMarcWilson
I’m not sure exactly what’s being worked on. But I know our team refuses to let the discrepancies go unnoticed. As well as holding the courts to the requirements of making decisions within 30 DAYS!!! #StandWithMarcWilson
Welcome to our #StandWithMarcWilson Twitter Townhall. We'd love for you to join in the conversation. Use and follow #StandWithMarcWilson to participate in the discussion!
Q1: Black ppl defending themselves looks like not having to decide which hashtag they are going to be. A community morning (Memorial) or A community support (Defense)
