Third: You have likely seen a story coming out today about the city designating 6 accounts as their mouthpieces throughout the trial.
Don't listen to those accounts.
The city is trying to buy opinions and influence.
Tell your friends.

The city of Minneapolis is finalizing contracts with 6 social media influencers/“trusted messengers” to share “city-generated and approved messages” and dispel misinformation. Each will be paid $2,000 to share information during Derek Chauvin's trial:

Hey, we’re going to be ramping up our presence here in the days leading up to the beginning of the trial on 3/8.
It’s going to be difficult but, please help us keep the dialogue centered on the messages of this movement.

How can you help?
First: If you see someone on here or elsewhere trying to excuse the actions of Derek Chauvin, Tao Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, or MPD please remind them that no one deserves to be murdered by Derek Chauvin or police. EVER!

Second: Get your friends who that are committed to anti-racism and fighting white-supremacy to follow us. We’ll be providing counterpoints to the city and MPD throughout the trial.
Think of your likes and retweets as tools. They help increase your and our reach. Use them.

Fourth: If you support the work that we’ve been doing by holding space here at 38th and Chicago since May, show that support:
Or, if you can, venmo us to help others show their support: GFS_YardSigns

Fifth: If you haven’t recently, come visit and see the memorial at 38th and Chicago. We have created a space for grief, love and community-building that the powers-that-be keep trying to take away.
Coming to witness the square helps take away and blunt their power.

Lastly:
Don’t shut up!
The city, MPD and the Guard are doing a lot of stuff right now that is intended to scare you into silence.
Don’t let them.
They know how to shut us up. They know how to get peace:
