🚨EMERGENCY RALLY TONIGHT‼️🚨 THE PARTY ISNT OVER UNTIL WE SAY IT’S OVER‼️
Yesterday the cops rolled up to pride in riot gear, shouting "party's over" and "if you won't leave there will be no mercy" and started beating attendees with batons. They think a flimsy pretext of “crowd control” can disguise their fascism— we say FUCK OFF! The first pride was a riot!! Gather with us TONIGHT, 6PM at Walnut and 13th & show the pigs that nothing will stop us.
