We are #LIVE in #Minneapolis covering a rally in solidarity with #Portland where six people were shot and one killed on Saturday night during a protest in support of Amir Locke twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The person who was killed on Saturday in Portland was known as T. Rex. Comrades of hers say she took part in a lot of mutual aid work, and made people laugh and smile.
"If people want the protests to stop, then we need some fucking justice, that's gonna be the thing to make the protests stop. Driving into protests with cars isn't gonna make us stop, coming and showing up with guns to try and scare us isn't gonna make us stop, we will grow.."
Thanks for tuning into our live coverage. Take a look at the other work we do ---> unicornriot.ninja
Another solidarity rally happened in Herbert Von King Park in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn this evening to mourn and hold space for the leftist community in Portland. 
Banners were placed around the area with messages including “Mourn the Dead - Fight Like Hell for the Living” and “For our dead and disappeared - not a moment of silence but a lifetime of struggle.”
The crowd of about 50 spent the evening mingling, making new connections, listening to music, sharing zines, and lighting candles around a small fire in the park. An American flag was also burned.
