thread of some ways to help the brooklyn center community right now
gofundme for daunte wright’s family
support daunte wright’s girlfriend and baby son
no more size 4 diapers/drop offs for today (4/12)
help documenting mn purchase supplies, food, etc
support protestors/mutual aid
support medics supply needs
call these numbers and demand police defunding and abolition
for those in the twin cities metro area:
candlelight vigil at 7pm 6pm today (april 12th) (moved to accommodate those who do not wish to stay past curfew)
protest at bcpd at 7pm today (april 12th) rescheduled due to curfew, though people will probably still attend
gas masks available for black folks protesting
some guidelines for protesting/protestor safety
more protesting guidelines
be aware that the curfew will be 7pm (because they want to fuck with the vigil and protest)
walz says that ‘largest police presence in Minnesota history will be prepared’ to enforce curfew, so please prepare if you’re planning to protest
remember that breaking curfew can be as simple as taking a walk, the more people who disobey the curfew the better
donation sites for food and supplies
CANMN is also collecting supplies for protestors
remember to check in and help with local encampments
if you’re coming from out of town: please be mindful of the community and spaces you’re entering and protect those who are more vulnerable.
