#facebook Please read this post. Many protestors are wary of Rick and "Mamabird", and do not feel safe interacting with them. They both have a history of sowing tension and uncertainty at protests. It is reported that Rick has been frequently yelling threats over a megaphone at crowds, and has a tendency of reaching for his firearm holsters when people disagree with him. As is highlighted in the post, "Mamabird" has admitted to giving information to the police: https://www.facebook.com/724170490/posts/10158234541415491/

#events There are TWO separate actions tonight at the same time tonight, these are different events with different vibes, and they are not meant to compete with each other.
The first, as always is the Every Day March organized by Tatii, TK, and other amazing black women who consistently lead vibrant, powerful, and highly influential events.
The second is a newly organized event at Denny Park which sprung out of multiple affinity groups working together on Telegram to create a more dynamically and organically organized action, we've received confirmation that there will be radical black voices in attendance of the Denny Park march, but there is a strong focus on protecting the identity of the involved organizers, so their names will not be shared at this time.
Both of these actions are solely focused on centering BIPOC and QTPOC lives and voices.
