But y’all keep cheering about monuments being removed.

All these racist systems need to be torn all the way down. Monuments are figureheads.

Community organizers are being attacked daily by police. https://twitter.com/brerva/status/1278427869258174465
Ask me how I know?

I’ve seen it.
I’ve experienced it personally.

I’ve got racists doxxing me because I’m getting the truth out.

I’m getting special attention from police too, but I’m still here for now because I’m a White womxn...
Meanwhile I’m watching Black organizers and activists around me getting singled out and attacked...

So when folx march, I hope it’s for justice for more than Black folx killed by police...I hope its for these Black organizers & activists too.
I hope y’all are marching for those Black folx who are being evicted, who are disproportionately disciplined in school, who can’t walk down the street w/o worrying about White neighbors calling the cops, and who are being pushed out of homes by gentrifiers. That’s violence too.
If you’re a White person and my tweets are hitting too close to home, if you feel like I’m touching on issues in this thread that make you uncomfortable—GOOD!

Violence looks like a lot of things and removing monuments won’t remove that from our neighborhoods.
