some things we learned during the george floyd protests that you should know if you’re attending a protest—a thread 🧵:
FRIENDLY REMINDER: On Friday, April 12, the DC Public Library will be open online only. This allows our staff to participate in our annual Staff Professional Development Day. 📚💻
You don't need solar eclipse 🕶️ to see how @MayorBowser's harmful budget cuts to programs that support children, youth, and their families will negatively impact #WashingtonDC. #Eclipse2024
Meet us at the Friday Rally to Save #washingtondc #childcare! RSVP: bit.ly/49pXnhw #Under3DC
Do you remember back in October when there was a days long back and forth about whether or not Israel bombed a hospital and at this point they have destroyed literally every single hospital in Gaza. I feel like I'm going insane
*So many of you* contributed to this thread about DC programs everyone should know about! @Janeese4DC and Team @CMLewisGeorgeW4 compiled all the programs you shared (and many others) into this roundup for @petworthdcnews. Check it all out: petworthnews.org/blog/cm-lewis-…

Kicking off day two of the @AmericaVotes state summit with @LizShuler‘s remarks!
not my girl @yeyiuxorozco ON THE LITERAL RADIOOOOOOOOO wpfwfm.org/radio/
No. One. Is. Illegal. On. Stolen. Land.
When *someone* says they care about family values but don't support paid family & medical leave, affordable childcare, or the child tax credit. #SOTU
Who here is staying up past their bedtime to watch the #SOTU? Me:
Today, we are in DC advocating for national paid leave for working families with our #NetworkStrong partners. 20+ years in the fight for equitable & inclusive care policies, and we're just getting started. Let's make #TimetoCare a reality for all!
@FmlyValuesWork Head to p4wl.org to get involved! We are eager to widen the circle of collaboration & solidarity!
The President of the United States — whose campaign was built upon the idea of countering domestic hatred — should believe that Jews can be safe in the United States.

The campaign to depose university presidents is also an effort to distract people from this

Never cross a picket line. No @washingtonpost today. Stand with @PostGuild.
It's TODAY! JOIN ME & the brilliance of @msfoundation, @peaceisloud, @optionb, @RepPressley @AyannaPressley: When we have time to care, our families are healthier, our communities are safer, and we advance toward equity. Register Now ➡️ bit.ly/3RCgcZQ #NetworkStrong
so…the pro-israel rally was just a pro-war rally?!?! like do u realize what this sounds like to the rest of the world?!?! it cannot possibly be a good look for there to be thousands of jews chanting FOR war right now, how is this supposed to help?!?!
Jews are safest when we stand in solidarity with other marginalized groups, including the Muslim, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. Including a bigot like John Hagee in the #MarchForIsrael event negates that truth. Truly awful choice.
I'll be the first to say that the dangers of antisemitism are real but I don't think enough people realize what a historical impossibility this would've been for most of our ancestors. The protections we have here exist only if we are vigilant about affording them to *everyone*.

I worked 7 hours that day and 36 hours the first week back. I was married and my husband worked full-time, but we could not make it without the minimum wage I was paid at Walmart. I was 20 years old. I hope that picture sticks.
and soaked through my Walmart vest a few minutes later. I kept cashiering with my hair strategically placed over my breasts. I was still using a peri bottle at every bathroom visit. I bled so much that first day, that I had to wear Depends underwear lined with two pads.
I know we hear a lot about how difficult it is to give birth in America when we don’t have paid maternity leave, but I’m goning to paint that picture. I went back to work when my first son was 14 days old. I worked at Walmart. I soaked through my first shirt within hours
I know I’m getting older because “just resting my eyes” really does work sometimes for me
Noncompete agreements were designed to pad businesses’ bottom line at the expense of workers’ power. Thank you, @FTC, for protecting workers’ freedom to pursue better wages and benefits like #PaidLeave.
Thank you @RepHankJohnson
My statement on student protest at Emory.
My statement on Emory and UT Austin, on behalf of @DisabledSouth. (Alt text continued in thread).
Liberals rly know nothing about the left. There are Mask Blocs in every major city distributing masks. There are millions of ppl who routinely wear masks. In organizing spaces, masks are often required for accessibility. I’m not inherently more menacing bc I don’t want covid jfc
I get the surveillance argument. But conveniently ignored is that people who are masked are also inherently more menacing. By design. The argument about covid seems like bullshit. This is mostly outside. Do these folks use PPE masks when they're off the protest clock?
stay safe, be on the right side of history. black lives matter, no one is illegal, we protect us, land back, all oppression is connected and free palestine. 🇵🇸
sources/disclaimer: main source: @ACLU and my own opinions. this is not legal advice. consult legal representation if you are in need of assistance.
if you can not participate in a protest for whatever reason, you can still help! drop-off supplies! (water bottles, allergy-friendly foods/snacks with ingredients labels on them, sharpies, cards with legal aid numbers on them, masks, makeup remover wipes, hand sanitizer, etc)
10. remember that we protect us. ignite this chant as a reminder to everyone present if you have to. communities are supposed to help one another. don’t be a sell out, offer support, share resources, food and water. be a kind soul.
personal note on using your privilege: i have seen white people, countless times, place themselves in front of BIPOC when police draw weapons/approach protests. it often works. do not be a person that just acknowledges their privilege, use it for good.
9. use whatever privilege you have to protect others. if you see a disabled person struggling, offer to help. find medics to assist people experiencing anxiety or having a panic attack. if you see a BIPOC being harassed, surround them.
8. if you see someone being detained, what should you do: - record the interaction. police can not demand to view or delete any footage without a warrant. - use calming affirmations towards the person being detained. they are likely scared. be there for them.
7. what are your rights if you’re being stopped or detained by police: - you do not have to consent to you or your belongings being searched. if you consent, anything can be used against you in court. - police can conduct a “pat down” if they suspect you have a weapon.
6. police want everyone to leave the area, what should that look like: - shutting down a protect through a dispersal order must be the last resort for police. - a clear danger must be present. - police must give adequate time for protesters to disperse and an exit route.
5. what to do with your phone during a protest: - put your phone on airplane mode - disable face ID/touch, replace with 6-digit passcode instead - spreading awareness is great but avoid posting photos of people that include identifying features.
4. if you are threatened with or under arrest: - you have the right to know why you’re being arrested. calmly ask. if they refuse to provide a reason, stay quiet and ask for legal representation immediately. do not give any information or sign anything without a lawyer present.
