thinking about the time i went to a protest in Denver during BLM and we were so peaceful and respectful of everyone’s time that the media completely ignored us and spun a story about how violent protestors showed up for the first time hours after we left

Oh but the part that I wasn’t allowed to share bc of the character limit? We still spoke to state legislators on capitol hill. The protest STILL MATTERED even if it didn’t end up on TV.

2020 and BLM is remembered as a time of mass violence for some reason but we helped get ELEIA passed and now qualified immunity doesn’t really exist in colorado anymore
