support protestors/mutual aid
support medics supply needs
call these numbers and demand police defunding and abolition
brooklyn center mutual aid
i’ve seen people linking donation links to minnesota freedom fund, but they already have plenty of money from last summer and i would instead redirect money to the links above and other bipoc individuals/orgs. black visions/reclaim the block are also not currently asking for donations.
for those in the twin cities metro area:
candlelight vigil at 7pm 6pm today (april 12th) (moved to accommodate those who do not wish to stay past curfew)
protest at bcpd at 7pm 4-6pm today (april 12th) (rescheduled due to curfew)
police are most likely going to start kettling at 7pm
gas masks available for black folks protesting
some guidelines for protesting/protestor safety
more protesting guidelines
beware that the fbi has a complex a few blocks away from bcpd (physical location)
be aware that there is a 7pm curfew for hennepin, anoka, ramsey, and dakota counties (because they want to fuck with the vigil and protest)
curfew has been modified so that anyone travelling to prayer, such as taraweeh, is exempt
walz says that ‘largest police presence in Minnesota history will be prepared’ to enforce curfew, so please prepare if you’re planning to protest
remember that breaking curfew can be as simple as taking a walk, the more people who disobey the curfew the better
donation sites for food and supplies
CANMN is also collecting supplies for protestors
remember to check in and help with local encampments
keep this in mind to avoid the spread of misinformation
if you’re coming from out of town: please be mindful of the community and spaces you’re entering and protect those who are more vulnerable. stay out of private yards and be aware that many young children live in these residential areas.
