Here's a thread with highlights from Saturday's protest organized by @pslneohio, followed by some of my thoughts.

Dee McCall with @thefreedomBLOC opening:

"Everything right now that's happening, it seems like we're reading this book in 1965..."
Next was Josiah Quarles with @TamirsCampaign who I've seen give a lot of powerful speeches at protests over the years. He's even more powerful when conversing 1:1 with people on the street.

Be proud of this man, Cleveland.
Samaria Rice spoke about the painful road she's been on with @TamirsCampaign for justice.

Rice emphasized the political pressure points she believes must be focused on, and that more direct actions like boycotts are necessary.
