They're trying to do Ant Smith like they did Mumia Abu-Jamal, which is target and imprison a young and outspoken Black activist who has been a community leader and organizer against police brutality and state violence. I don't know Ant as well as others, but I had (1/)
the privilege of hearing him speak and learning from his example all throughout this summer's uprisings. I'll fight for his release because I know he would (DOES) do the same for anyone in the struggle. (2/)
