The W.E. Rising Project

Black-lead Community Initiatives serving to unseat systemic racism from city to state. Decarcerate. Divest. Abolish. Without compromise.

[Jacob Raiford @MrJacobRaiford]

Here in Phoenix, today is the third anniversary of the beginning of demonstrations centered around unseating systemic prejudice and demanding equity -and justice- for Black people. Specifically victims of Police Violence.

Rest well, Dion & George.

Black Lives Matter.

Can you both fuck off already? Good Lord.

BREAKING: Getting reports that @KariLake is covering Donald Trump’s face on her campaign signs in Pima County.

Now even her signs are 2-faced!

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

We don’t reward villainous behavior. In a world of systemic prejudice, paths of oppression intersect. This is a day of solidarity.

✊🏽 July 4th is closed!! #BoycottJuly4th

[Mega Ran @MegaRan]

Certainly not in the mood to celebrate anyone's faux Independence. No BBQs, no fireworks, no driving, no spending. #BoycottJuly4th

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

We are joining the movement to #BoycottJuly4th and we hope you join us.

What independence?

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

@Arizona_DPS likes to tear gas innocent youth clearly. Disgusting.

“Pro life” but they’ll use chemical weapons on people knowing damn well someone could have respiratory issues.

Cut shit. Abortion rights right tf now.

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

@RadicalWomenPhx just provided arrest number courtesy of the good folks at Maldonado Law group 🖤

Please keep this number on you. I.E.

602-910-4040

Remember to keep yourself safe. These things are *safeguards* not a signal to turn up. Listen to the organizers 🙂

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

SCOTUS weaponized their patriarchal views against us all. The overturning of Roe v Wade has cemented 6/24 as a dark day in history.

Why overturn 50 years of abortion rights other than hatred?

Time to make noise tonight.. [do not center, cis-fellas]

Words from @RadicalWomenPhx:

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

‼️Take leadership from @RadicalWomenPhx ‼️

Carpool if youre able. Tell a friend where you’ll be. Write a contact number on your arm. Drink plenty of water.

**Do not take bait from counter-protesters / agitators. They want you to get arrested.** Park in groups. Get home safe. 🖤

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Everyone! Tune into today’s @CityofPhoenixAZ City Council meeting: https://t.co/oTv1bdmBxR

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

@newliv2011 They used military tactics and equipment against us for talking loud in the middle of the street. @CityofPhoenixAZ has a tyranny fetish.

Wait…. is that a Juneteenth colored city logo?

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Tomorrow. $63 million dollars…$20 million going towards pay raises alone. Meanwhile people are succumbing to heatstroke. Others are worrying if they make “three times the rent”…Others are afraid to call 911 for behavioral health.

Please join us online. https://t.co/NagP5OACFK

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

We mean business, @CityofPhoenixAZ. Who are you to decide what to do w/ OUR money despite US telling you what WE need?

Further inflating @PhoenixPolice budget while being investigated by DOJ is incredibly corrupt.Invest in community resources as we demand
https://t.co/oQ1ogb0JpF

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Attention. Phoenix is planning on raising police funds while under investigation by DOJ for police corruption. This is absolutely corrupt. Sign up and speak this Wednesday! https://t.co/oQ1ogb0JpF

Oppose items 71 & 72. Spread the word.

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Today is the two year anniversary of George Floyd and Dion Johnson. People took to the streets to demand justice and a change to policies that embolden militarized police depts.

As long as historically corrupt law enforcement culture goes unchecked, danger persists.

Organize.

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

@MackenzieEngle1 @GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz @kyrstensinema @DougDucey @SenatorSinema @NRA Yep. “Fun”fact: Panthers lawfully carrying weapons for protection was the catalyst for gun restrictions in CA followed by US. Current laws were never about the true safety of people..just a way to control Black folks. Which is why evil ass @NRA is allowed so much influence still.

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Fuck @GregAbbott_TX , @tedcruz , @kyrstensinema, @DougDucey , @SenatorSinema and every advocate for gun culture whether direct or indirectly.Fuck every goddamn politician who enabled the obstruction to progress known as the filibuster. Change starts with policy. And fuck the @NRA

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Don’t “blue no matter who” your way into another elected official who will put their trash ass career in front of your children. Vet and pressure every last one of them. This could have been prevented ages ago.💔

Love to the families experiencing indescribable loss and grief. 💔

[The W.E. Rising Project @WERisingProject]

Also Biden: Fund the police with Covid relief.

Little bit of the “pot calling the kettle racist”, ammirite??

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

White supremacy is a poison running through our body politic.

We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America.

Failure to do so will be complicity. Silence will be complicity. We cannot remain silent.
