Excellent turnout for the #MLKDay March here in #PrescottAZ.

The theme of this year’s event was “Marching Forward In Love”

Let’s honor the legacy of MLK by protecting access to the ballot in 2022! #VotingRightsForMLK
Everyone who follows this handle knows that #PrescottAZ is a very conservative place, but the amazing turnout today is further evidence that the values embodied by Dr. King and the #MLKLegacy are cherished by a whole lot of folks who live here.
We marched from Prescott College to downtown via Gurley. around the Square (shown here) and back up Gurley to the Prescott United Methodist Church for a beautiful program honoring the #MLKLegacy .

Thank you to the MLK Day Committee organizers who made this event a success!

The Oath Keepers on #60Minutes tonight are the same group who bullied, harassed and intimidated students and senior citizens at a #BlackLivesMatter rally back in September.

It was nothing short of terrorizing under the guise of 'protecting downtown'.

Who was the real threat?
Jim Arroyo is the Oath Keeper who asked Paul Gosar if we are in a 'Civil War' to which Gosar replied 'yes, we just haven't started shooting yet."
Journalist @azgreenday was at the event on September 4th and wrote this fantastic piece about racism in #PrescottAZ and his experience on 9/4

Last week the #LofgrenReport published 177 pages detailing Paul Gosar's efforts to aid the 'Stop the Steal' movement and push the #BigLie that led to the 1/6 insurrection.

This <THREAD> lays bare some of the lowlights.

Notice that some tweets are still up & some are deleted. But there has been no retraction, apology, or acknowledgement of his role pushing the #BigLie & resulting insurrection or the promotion of the America First white nationalist agenda. #RemovePaulGosar

It's as though Paul is brazenly pushing it to see how much anti-democratic behavior large donors like @AmerDentalAssn @AmerAcadPeds & @SRPconnect will let him get away with.

Why do they continue to fund an insurrectionist who emboldens white nationalists? #RemovePaulGosar

One week ago #AZ04 Rep. Paul Gosar validated & emboldened white supremacists when he took the same stage as Steve King & Nick Fuentes at AFPAC.

This reprehensible behavior generated a lot of media attention <THREAD>

#RemovePaulGosar RemovePaulGosar.org #DemCastAZ #ONEV1 Image
Sadly, it has not generated condemnation from either the GOP or Gosar supporter @AmerDentalAssn.

Are you seriously cool with this ADA? Silence is complicity.

Call (312) 440-2500 & ask the ADA why they continue to fund Paul Gosar. #RemovePaulGosar #CallYourDentist #DemCast Image
Let's start with our conservative leaning hometown paper @TheDailyCourier.

'Gosar skips in-person vote on House stimulus bill to attend white nationalist AFPAC conference'

1/ Truth and reconciliation are sequential. This is something that white people must come to grips with, too many white folks are inclined to want to just skip over the uncomfortable truth part to get to reconciliation.
<THREAD>

#DemCast #DemCastAZ #OneVoice1 #BlackLivesMattter
2/ That's not how it works. It is why we have these recurring cycles of violence going back generations, because white people can and do opt out of really wanting to know.
3/ Until something happens where they can't, but even then instead of confronting the uncomfortable truth of our shared past they choose to opt out by making it about themselves, and thus we have "All Lives Matter" intended to invalidate the lived experiences of black people.
