Our city is burning. Our community is grieving. Police did this. White supremacy did this. George Floyd was murdered. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
We'll have some book stuff to tweet about today but these circumstances are heavy. Here are some local orgs you can support/other ways you can help:
. @CUAPBMpls hosts weekly meetings on Saturday afternoons, this weekend included (by phone). Call 612-874-7867 for their 24/7 police brutality hotline https://www.cuapb.org/
The official memorial fund for George Floyd and his family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd
The MN Freedom Fund, where your donation bails protesters and victims of police violence out of jail: https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate
. @UR_Ninja provides free, live streamed coverage of the protests https://unicornriot.ninja/donate/
. @MPD_150 is a critical community resource—they don't need more donations right now but have helpful information to share and their own suggestions of where to direct funds: https://twitter.com/MPD_150/status/1265674391863599107?s=20
And for locals, medic supplies can be brought to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church near the precinct at 2730 E 31st St
We love you, Minneapolis! Wishing everyone safety, good health, and justice.
