    If you are in Seattle tomorrow, this city really needs you to be here to show support for the council's vote to defund SPD.

    Next 10 days are so crucial if we want to . Our final rally is tomorrow (8/5) at noon and starts at the Youth Jail and we will march to city hall to demand council defunds Seattle PD by the full 50%. Will you be there??

    The current system expects activists, organizers and abolitionists to do it 100% perfect right now with limited resources. While the flawed racist system has been doing it imperfectly for hundreds of years while exploiting us and our resources. 🤔 Things I think about...

    Happening tonight in Seattle! No surprise is using Trump’s tweets to co-opt the movement without addressing the demands. She is not with us. Come to tonight to learn how we can decriminalize seattle, defund SPD, and release all protestors. 9pm-1am
