Morning!

As protests around the country continue, I want to encourage you to continually do your research. Sometimes, we are being duped or worse-set up for arrest& harm

Make sure you know and trust the *original* source of the protest you’re attending if you saw a flyer online

There are lots of righteous grassroots folks doing the work everywhere and they tend to be easy to identify because they have usually have no problem identifying themselves when asking people to show up.

If that ain’t happening, at the very least, do your due diligence.

Cops spread disinfo. They will make digital flyers and get everybody in one place just to surveil, detain, kettle and/or arrest.

Supremacists spread disinfo. Folks who want to exploit the attention and/or cause violence that comes back on Black folks https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-17/far-right-boogaloo-boys-linked-to-killing-of-california-lawmen-other-violence

Keep protesting, but keep your head on swivel, and always do your research.
