We created this zine to initially honor Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson, and Isaac McGhie. We shifted gears as we mourned the violence upon Black lives. Our zine visions a new world and is available to download at blackbirdrevolt.com/apres

All too often Black Womxn, and Black people that identify within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum are left out of the conversation and often silenced and erased. There would be no #BlackLivesMatter movement without these voices.

We recommend that any Minnesotan who has attended a protest, vigil, or community clean-up get tested for #COVID19. If you start to feel sick, get tested right away. If you do not feel sick, get tested as soon as you can, but no later than 5-7 days after the event. (1/2)
