Thank you for documenting and sharing this moment.
Something that often escapes media attention is just how much time and planning organizers put into keeping👏🏽their👏🏽people👏🏽safe.
So much fearmongering this week. We've been called vile, disgusting, terrorists.
How, Sway?!

The crowd photos don't show this, but we parked our stage away from the barricade, and scheduled content there so that we'd naturally converge away from the counterprotesters.
Who was it that posted up on said barricade the entire time, because their goal was to antagonize? Hmm.

Our people danced. To share courage and joy with each other, and with our detained family. #AquiEstamos
Against a backdrop peppered with riot gear, snipers atop rooftops, our people danced.

The same people who drum up fear and hatred of us prior to our exercises of free assembly--

Will go on to pat themselves on the back when things go smoothly, largely thanks to the labor of our DEEP volunteer marshaling roster.
