Walking up to today's protest right now that's starting in the The Whittaker area if #EugeneOregon.
Currently about ~50 people at the Dew Drop Inn organizing, eating snacks and drinking some solidari-tea.
Update: I believe it's chamomile.
Scratch that. Somebody just yelled peppermint.
Fifteen past 6 p.m. and there isn't much movement. No idea where the protest will go from here.
I failed the very protest reporting class I helped give today for the @DailyEmerald and have worn the wrong shoes. Might cut this short or actually get cut because they're too small.
Organizers with Black Unity are currently advising POC to travel in groups as "lynchings are happening again."
"We are for ALL Black lives."
"This is not going to stop anytime soon."
They're now hyping up tomorrows event at Alton Baker Park.
About to start marching.
Currently marching past @NinkasiBrewing and an LTD bus has been stopped much to the dismay of the driver.
Almost back to where we started.
We are back where we started and it looks like pizza has arrived.
Black Unity calls the 4J vote "a win."
The protest is pretty much over. Some are going to stay and listen to music and eat snacks.
Oh, and, yes, two of my toes are cut.
Not two, but three.
