Hi #ScienceTwitter, many of you have been reading about the Twin Cities & uprisings happening all over the country. This past week, I& #39;ve been doing my small part to support the Midway community in St. Paul which experienced heavy police occupation this past Thursday. 1/n
I& #39;ve seen regular people show up for each other in inspiring ways: protests, w/ arms full of food & diapers in parking lots, defending POC-owned business against the KKK, young nurses running into tear gas to treat the wounds protestors sustained from rubber bullets ... 2/n
It& #39;s not over yet for us in the Twin Cities, but what I& #39;ve seen here so far from the people has affirmed and strengthened my vision of a future where our health, our safety, and our lives are defined by our own communities. 3/n
If you dream this too, then please join me by using this link to ask the Minneapolis City Council to #DefundThePolice police dept, & allocate funds instead to community-led efforts which can create a positive peace, not just the absence of violence. 4/n
5/5 You don& #39;t have to be in the Twin Cities to sign! In the optional notes box, let the Minneapolis City Council know that you would love to see it set a strong example for your own city!! https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/defund-police-minneapolis/?sp_ref=642781408.176.207448.o.1.2&referring_akid=.8530874.Fbrc7A&source=c2c&fbclid=IwAR35dDW7Xd9lP0cM2Z1Y2w6rB8oggcC_-U-DiDPQkt2sCk3gT2XiT7WREMg">https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/defu...
