HAPPENING NOW: Protestors have chained themselves together and shut down the @pridestl parade in Downtown STL after it ignored community demands to cut ties with Boeing for its role in arming genocide in Palestine. #NoPrideInGenocide
Even when we had #OccupySLU with hundreds of folks and stayed for 6 days not a single arrest was made. Washu could do this & now is a great time to remember that they don't pay taxes.
Students at Washington University in St. Louis leading a protest calling for the university to divest from genocide and becoming to 60+ university to stand up an encampment.
Mayor Tishaura Krewson is consistent:
✅ STL jail is killing record numbers of people
✅ STL City Hall is about to evict a homeless tent encampment
✅ STL Mayor using government power to directly attack citizens who criticize her actions
This shit is on NOBODY but who is ultimately in power, the MAYOR. She hired the warden and the city attorney. She heads every damn department that got anything to do with the jail. Y'all can go play on somebody else's face with the deflection and bullshyt. #NoMoreJailDeaths
Last Saturday, @resist_STL disrupted the annual #MarchontheArch in downtown St. Louis, and successfully prevented them from holding their pro-birth rally on the arch grounds. To all pro-birth, anti-trans fascists and religious extremists, you are not welcome in St. Louis! #MOTA
This is so wild. In the whole city of Stl there’s only 530 people in the cage without any reasonable rise in violence. Shout out to all the comrades that’s been working to decarcerate stl since 2017. There’s still so much work to be done.
Abolition is possible.
ResistSTL disrupted local anti-abortion group Coalition Life's annual benefit dinner on Wednesday by taking the stage and creating a moment of queer joy
Qualified immunity has allowed police officers in our country to kill Black people with impunity.
There were only 15 days last year when police did NOT kill someone.
Why are they above the law?
WE PULLING TF UP!!! We Need Everyone Who Supports CJ Reform, The Wrongly Convicted, and JUSTICE to pull up with us! St Louis, KC, Columbia, Springfield ppl please share!

One year ago today, we won our primary.
A few weeks earlier, a mailer sent to homes across St. Louis smeared and shamed me for being evicted. But I kept on, because there is no shame in struggle.
Today, that struggle is helping keep 11 million people in their homes.
While Missouri’s Republican Governor Mike Parson was handing out pardons to the gun-toting white St Louis couple, he refused to pardon 62-year-old Kevin Strickland, who has spent 43 years behind bars for a crime even the prosecutors say he did not commit. https://t.co/XsYPLmCSm8
When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people.
This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.
Republicans in Jeff City have decided to block Missouri’s Medicaid expansion, even though a majority of voters added it to the state constitution last fall.
stopping Medicaid expansion is both unconstitutional and heartless.
health care is a human right!
The SLMPD is not “understaffed”.
City residents, not police union lobbyists, decide how many cops we want, and the people voted for fewer cops
The age of over-policing coming to a close.
