      I spent some of the morning in Congress Heights, where community orgs had come together to pass out care packages and check on neighbors, knocking door to door. Beverly Smith-Brown of Momma’s Safe Haven told me community care is her expression of freedom todaypic.twitter.com/hxMukNBre0

      I met Tamara (right) who was born and raised in Houston! We take the lead on Juneteenth from her and other Black Texans. She grew came out to honor her father and her ancestors. She says every Juneteenth growing up, “we sat down at the feet of our elders and they taught us.”pic.twitter.com/BEl8oyYuKH

          “this is not a barbecue,” one organizer says. Now that speeches are over, tells people to find 10 people immediately and talk to each other about why they came here today.

          Back at BLM Plaza. It’s packed. An organizer from Minneapolis is talking- they’re with Black Visions. The crowd cheers as they describe the push to defund and dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department.

          April Goggans from BLM’s DC chapter. She starts by saying, let me tell you about DC. 700,000 people, 46% Black. Not a state. Now discussing Bowser’s proposed budget - says “she sounds just like Trump when she talks,” because she “actively harms Black people every f*cking day.”

          Ran into another march on U St. on my way home. Here, the message is clear. A big sign says “ABOLISH POL(I.C.E.)” and the group chants, “hey hey, ho ho, MPD has got to go”pic.twitter.com/fN07bERBbZ
