1/12 An open letter to The Christian Left, a “progressive online ministry” that is inflicting organized white violence against Lace Watkins, a long-time follower of @TheChristianLft and renowned Black Christian #activist bit.ly/316sAq8 #shareblackstories 
2/12 Her transgression? Being a Black Christian woman who dared to question the white male co-founders of The Christian Left for profiteering off the death of Congressman #JohnLewis by appropriating his legacy of #goodtrouble.
3/12 The Christian Left refuses to #listentoblackwomen. They ban Lace and erase all of her comments. They silence anyone who kindly invites them to consider how their behavior is at odds with their stated values, which they call "concern trolling" rather than #goodtrouble.
4/12 In response to The Christian Left’s refusal to engage directly with Lace, a small “army” of 100 members of the @laceonrace community take #directaction. bit.ly/3g7k9zm
5/12 TCL refuses to engage in reconciliation with Lace and paints themselves as the victim of an “attack.” They admit to pocketing profits from mask sales, but then quickly pivot to "a sizable donation” they allegedly made to #BlackLivesMatter without disclosing an amount. #blm
6/12 TCL publicly bemoans that "their group is dragging us through the mud all over the place online.” Meanwhile, Lace is smeared by TCL admin and community members who spread #lieslieslies that she committed multiple felonies. #stillnoreceipts and #stillnoapology
7/12 TCL writes a #falsenarrative of their victimhood, claiming that Lace on Race community members "have been beating us down for weeks." Meanwhile, TCL community members are galvanized to bully, threaten, and intimidate Lace into silence. #wehavereceipts
8/12 The Christian Left claims that any statements about their racism are "ridiculous" and have “no basis in reality.” Meanwhile, TCL admin enables community members to make overtly #racist comments while banning BIPOC who push back. #Gaslighting
9/12 TCL co-founder Charles Toy finally visits Lace on Race, demanding Lace and community members to “cease and desist.” When they don't back down, Toy channels his inner #amycooper and threatens to contact the FBI.
10/12 TCL solicits donations from followers to cover legal expenses for their ongoing campaign to silence a Black woman who dared to question them. #welp #SupportBlackBusinesses instead!
11/12 PLEASE RETWEET! Stand with @laceonrace and engage in some #GoodTrouble by holding The Christian Left to account. To learn more about Lace and her work, you can watch her CTV interview at bit.ly/2Q59Gd2
