BLM Pittsburgh

Everyone please take a second to send this email template to our local reps in Pittsburgh. Minneapolis just recently took the first steps towards defunding the police in their city. We must carry the momentum. defund12.org/pittsburgh #Pittsburgh #BlackLivesMatter

Today’s Civil Saturday lead by BYE is 3pm at Market Square. Be there and wear Black

In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that the desecration of an American flag is a form of speech protected under the First Amendment.

Another successful Civil Saturday thanks to Black, Young, and Educated!

#Justice4Jaylen JB’s mom is asking for an independent investigation. #BLM

Happy Juneteeth all weekend! “American Holiday” #JuneteenthDay @4NIKKOLAS for @Blklivesmatter

In the future, hopefully, this day of freedom and equality truly being sought for Americans can be recognized federally so the plight and struggles of those before us cannot be ignored. nbcnews.com/politics/congr….

Happy Juneteenth everyone! Hopefully, your days were filled with reflection and celebration alike. ✊🏾 #JuneteenthDay

Along with the weekly Civil Saturdays gathering tomorrow, there will be a walk tomorrow morning with the Mother of Marquis Jaylen Brown demanding justice for the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. #PittsburghProtest #BlackLivesMatter

Eviction on hold after Valmar Gardens residents ask for more time... we are still fighting on Juneteenth because we have no other option. publicsource.org/eviction-on-ho…

We cannot allow them to attempt to control the narrative by promoting a neutral, or even negative portrayal of the protests and movement. Please sign the petition below organized by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh to reinstate these Black Journalists. actionnetwork.org/letters/suppor…

Now THIS is a response.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has been plotting over the last couple of days to silence a range of voices from being heard. In an attempt to do so thy have banned two African-American reporters from covering any type of protest or #BlackLivesMatter news in Pittsburgh.

Protesters have moved into the road, blocking traffic. Police have blocked traffic about a block away. Starting to march eastbound. #PittsburghProtests

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION BC WHY THE FUCK IS THE KKK NOT ALREADY CONSIDERED A TERRORIST GROUP WHEN THEY LITERALLY JUST EXIST TO PERFORM HATE CRIMES chng.it/ZJDXNTwn

Headed up Mosside Blvd again. Protesters weaving through stopped vehicles. Some honking in support, others not. #pittsburghprotest

One set of protestors were met with police in riot gear mace, tear gas, batons, rubber bullets and lethal force.

Glad you asked... Our next post was going to be regarding ways to help if you can’t if you cannot protest. One of these ways is providing donations for demonstrators. A group of locals are storing and distributing any donations for future movements. ig user: pghyouthandprotestors
