A powerful moment of protest in Homewood. An organizer shouts George Floyd’s last words while hundred lay on the ground for over 8 minutes.
If you can’t protest, here are some gofundmes and organizations that are accepting donations. The least you can do is retweet:

The median household income in the U.S. last year was about $62,000. Someone making that much could work for 1.5 million years—not spend any of it—and still not be worth as much as Jeff Bezos. Billionaires should not exist.

These 3 women have been sentenced to a total of 55 years of jail. Reason? They were handing out flowers without their compulsory hijab on International Women's day in Iran. Elsewhere in the world, they'd be praised for their activism. #WhiteWednesdays World, be their voice.

I believe in the future of @UAFairbanks! I think the best way to be #UAStrong is to sign up for a class or donate! I am sure that #akleg will find a way to fund UA in a way that unambiguously fits within the law, is sustainable, and is inclusive of the minority legislators ideas.
