Tonight I’d like to share the voices of organizations and activists who are sharing important info.

I stand in solidarity with Black leaders in Salt Lake City and across the country who are sharing their voices and standing up for their lives. We all share this fight.
Thank you to these organizers and thousands of others across the country for fighting.

And lastly, in a huge way I want to give a shout-out to @abhiprofen and @time2ryot for their project on bail funds across the country. Donating to local bail funds is one of the best ways you can directly support protestors in your neighborhood.

And if you have additional suggestions for people posting info on the ground, SEND THEM!
I will add them to this thread. We must support and stand with our own—that’s what solidarity is built on.
