I think Juneteenth, we should DEFINITELY amplify local events, listen and let black folks lead. The movement should avoid seeming as if it’s trying to co-opt the holiday. Give space, amplify, protect, engage, listen, learn, educate, do the work to dismantle internal biases and uplift folks who have been out here leading for years.

Good point, I’ll separate! Thanks!

6/6 to broaden our coalition and general reach as a non-partisan movement. “Not on our watch” puts pressure on military and government leaders to act in upholding the Constitution and protecting America as they took an oath to do. It’s a direct challenge. Will they let fascism continue to fester and rage unopposed? Or with there will an uprising of those who swore to protect us?

I agree 💯 particularly like the idea of a blackout on his birthday.
