And we are back with night two of the protests in front of the WH. Today the police have set up the line half way between I and K on 16th. Follow along for the night with #washingtondcprotest
The group has been consistently growing. Right now someone is giving a speech as people are kneeling (sitting) she hs been talking for at least 5 minutes. #washingtondcprotest
Someone brought an amp and has begun a mini concert in the middle of the crowd. Claims he is a street performer who has face racial profiling. #WashingtonDCProtest
His name is @KENNY_SWAY!!!
And they have began dancing!!! SPREAD THIS!!! These are peaceful protests in DC!! @KENNY_SWAY’s rendition of “Man in the Mirror” #washingtondcprotest #blacklivesmatter @PoPville @wusa9 @DMVBlackLives
FULL ON CONCERT!!! He just sang “Lean On Me” and the entire crowd had their lights up and was singing along. The focus is no longer on the cops and is on the community now. This is PEACEFUL!! #washingtondcprotest #blacklivesmatter @wusa9 @DMVBlackLives @PoPville
Moved to H and Vermont much smaller crowd than on 16th and I, but stillvery meaningful. #washingtondcprotest
A march has started to the Capitol building from the WH. En route 3 buses full of National Guard are spotted on their way to WH. #WashingtonDCProtest
The march is almost to capitol. I can’t believe the sight I am seeing right now. This is absolutely beautiful. This is America. #WashingtonDCProtest #blacklivesmatter @PoPville @wusa9 @DMVBlackLives
We have arrived in front of the capitol. Peope are raising their hand in front of the capitol if they are tired (of racism in the US). This night is amazing and you can feel the love in the air. #washingtondcprotest
There is an ASL interpreter!!! The protestors are building a true community here in DC from interpreters, to allergic conscious snack options, to coffee for us coffee lovers (me). #WashingtonDCProtest
The march has moved the back of the capitol building. Not much of a police presence, but that is quickly changing. #WashingtonDCProtest
Back at the WH. Still a decent crowd of protestors. Lots of chants of “peaceful protest” and “fuck the curfew”. Still peaceful! #WashingtonDCProtest
Someone brought a flood light and is LIGHTING UP THE POLICE OVERLOOKING US!! #WashingtonDCProtests
It is now being used to post #blacklivesmatter messages on the buildings and military vehicles!!! #washingtondcprotest
Okay I have called it for tonight. Came home very tired, but over the moon. Tonight was the most beautiful I have ever seen DC because of the overwhelming community I felt at the #washingtondcprotest! I love you all and I will be back out again tomorrow! #BlackLivesMatter
