chadwickboseman It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. 

Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. 

⁣A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. ⁣⁣

It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. ⁣He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. ⁣

The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time. ⁣⁣

When the coronavirus temporarily shuttered businesses across the country, Alexi Minko was nearly ready to give up on his bar, Alibi Lounge. 

“I was 75% done with the business,” Minko said to NowThis. “I was wondering, was it worth it?”

But after a prolific GoFundMe campaign and what he describes as a renewed sense of responsibility, Minko said Alibi Lounge is thriving, even in the middle of a pandemic. 

[...]

This March, Alibi Lounge temporarily closed due to the coronavirus. Minko said he was rejected twice for assistance from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, which chains including Shake Shack and Ruth’s Chris Steak House were not. He then reached out to the Small Business Association's Network for LGBT Businesses and got approved for a PPP loan.

Tallahassee Community Action Committee is a LEGIT group and I know most if not all of the people who run it. This isn’t fake, this isn’t a scam. I understand the hesitance but TCAC has posted on their twitter if you personally feel uncomfortable contacting TPD with info, to DM them. They also have an Instagram.

If you checked the notes you’d see OP and others giving you evidence this is real. This is personally the only info I know, I live in this area. Please help even if you don’t personally live in FL, someone who follows you may.

they’re focusing on saving money not printing out notices, these utter fucking cowards

to be clear, the way we don’t let this die is via the LGBTQ group Lambda Legal, which is accepting donations! please consider donating to them.
