This September, Roxanne was shot by officers after her family called for help to deescalate her mental health crisis.
The officer involved was supported by the Berks DA. The same Berks DA who claims it was justified violence, despite openly admitting there were no attempts made to deescalate the situation.

Seeking Justice, We Recognize:
• A police force being investigated by its own DA is NOT accountability.
• Their refusal to release the body cam footage but instead providing select images to support their case is PERFORMATIVE transparency.
• In spite admitting to prior knowledge regarding Roxanne's mental health , they failed to send a health expert along. This reckless negligence resulted in unjustified violence.
Roxanne deserves justice, call Berks District Attorney John T. Adams @ (610) - 478 - 6000 and demand they release the tapes and hand the investigation off to a third party.

"What exactly do you like about country music? Is it the harmonies, twang and heatbreak that brought you here? Or was it a myth. A myth that tells us country music is patriotic music, that it’s the product of cowboys around campfires and not from chain gangs and cotton mills and sweaty dancefloors...that it’s a genre made for some but not for everyone...That siding with power, and religion, and money is the role of songs with fiddle and banjo in them. This post is an oversimplification, it’s a tale better told by people who aren’t me, but it’s as close to a mission statement as I’ll ever write. I yodel because I give a shit, and I someday, hope you will too. Written and illustrated by me, share if you’d like, I love your ass even if you hate my guts for this 🖤🙏🏼🐍 "

Wonderful and successful multi-purpose #AntifaFoodDrive in #NYC earlier today. Volunteers in #BlackBloc showed up to receive and sort donations and hold space as a counter-action to a planned MAGA rally nearby. The reactionaries reportedly left the city before they even assembled, marking the first clear win for the action. All foodstuffs will be donated to La Jornada food pantry in Queens (link), and a lot of donations were gathered: second win. The normalization of bloc is a third important aspect of this kind of action: as a bunch of bloc on the ground were petting some dog, one of the owners was overheard saying (to his dog), “these are nice, good people.”

Do actions like this in your city! Bring flyers and distribute lit too!
