👋🏾 a lot of new people here. So here's a few things to know about us: (y'all know we love threads)
We love Black people more than we hate white supremacy.
When we started organizing under this name in 2015, it was because received death threats as individuals. Tacoma didn't have a big protest scene, and it was hella easy for people to make us targets. As Black women, we needed to protest ourselves.
😂 not y'all saying people over property yesterday and then being mad at some broken windows today.
No, we didn't go to the protest for safety reasons, but we're also not losing sleep over some windows. They can pay for it with that increased police budget.
This is the same city that didn't blink an eye about Manuel Ellis. Have barely said anything about a cop running people over with his car, and wanted to cut money from the libraries and increase the police budget.
