I wanna cudl @SophicLeech
Just learned that George Floyd was a part of the legendary group Screwed Up Click back in the 90s. Billboard’s got a good summary of his career and links to several of his songs. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/9391100/george-floyd-screwed-up-click-rapper
While we protest his horrific death at the hands of police brutality, I also want to learn about his life and celebrate it. Black lives matter, and his black life matters.

Okay, that was the soft sell. Here's the hard sell: Do it. No... DO IT. Do the thing.
Okay, back to the soft sell: Please?

re: a thought on being politically useful at protests
basically, ask the question of 'what is stopping other people who want to protest from going out and protesting', and serving that need.
childcare is probably a big one right now! other respite care as well.
if you feel you can't safely be on the front lines, as it were, consider if you can offer to babysit, or if you can maybe sit with someone's disabled great-aunt who needs home care.
Uspol, Canpol + resources
Can't do much to help with protest efforts beyond spread the word that demonstrations are being held up here too.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l0TGDdHJIO6FGkKNWBBXINUmfGSXdM8eK6eY2ZmrK8Q/mobilebasic has useful info for the demonstrations in #toronto, but idk what's out there for vancouver
We're all in this together ✊
