I'm posting this with her mother's permission because I need everyone to see what Ron DeSantis’ Florida really looks like.
13 year olds being arrested for protesting for their own freedom.

Florida doesn't have to be like this. This young woman is an inspiration. Let's give her a better, freer future.

Update:
Rain spent an hour at the police station. Was bruised by handcuffs. But was back out protesting same day!!
Also, our attorney in the comments, , was retained.
Like I said, an inspiration!!

This is not where Rain's story ends. Leaders stand in the gap with those fighting for their basic rights. I've cleared my schedule to be with Rain at tomorrow's follow up rally and protest. If you can, join us in solidarity.

A lawbreaker not an inspiration. What are you teaching her is OK?

Interesting that this is what the news article says: A source close to the incident said Lillie was asked at least three times to stop using the megaphone before Thompson took her into custody. Another source said she was never placed in handcuffs.

She’s not in handcuffs. Not in this video. She is just beginning detained not arrested. Was she interfering with the businesses there ? There is more to this

Is there any way to contribute to her legal fees . A girl of her age should never be treated like that by the police. She's truly an inspiration

In Florida it’s illegal to use a Megaphone that is why she was taking away what she was doing was illegal

What a stunt. The mother is responsible for her daughter getting arrested. She put her daughter in this position. Didn’t tell her to put the bullhorn down. I’m pro choice. This kind of publicity stunt does not help the cause. Oh, and the arrestee needs her own lawyer.
