Come out with CTUL and demand justice for workers next week. We need jobs in our communities that support our lives. Too many companies are getting away with the systemic murder of our people.

As we fight for liberation, it is important that we continuously experience joy with one another.

As Black people, we are not required to be angry, depressed, and hurt at all times as we fight for justice. And beyond that-- expressing Black joy allows us to be resilient so we can continue to fight.

In that spirit, we want to invite you all to turn up for justice with Pastor Danny Givens and the community on Sunday night!! Half the proceeds will go to BLM Mpls so we can contin...ue to fight for a world in which Black humanity is seen, and collective liberation is realized.

Come out, support, and love on one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

This politcal system will not save us. Adding more Black bodies to it, is not the solution. We need an overhaul in order to create a world where Black Lives Matter.

AND

Misogynoir is real. It shows up everywhere. Especially in our politics. When we see Black women, attacked and invisibilized by the establishment, we must also step up and fight back. And even more so when those Black women are working to combat state-sanctioned violence. If you are looking for ways to step up, check out the work of Ilhan Omar for State Representative - 60B

ALL Black Lives Matter. If you're not in an uproar for ‪#‎KorrynGaines‬ like you were for the Black men who die by the same police system, then you ain't actually down with ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬.

When we stand silent as some of us die we perpetuate the same system keeping us from living. When you only push out rhetoric about Black men but never mention black Trans and cis-gendered women, you are erasing a critical truth of the tangled mess of this system.

It's time to disinvest from police and invest in ALL BLACK LIVES.

End the war on Black people. Divest from police, invest in community. Reparations. Community Control. Political Power. Economic Justice. ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬
