yeah I've heard it's really bad there. My heart goes out to them. Obviously being targeted because it's a Black city in a red state.

For those in a position to help financially Venmo Vecindarios901 a strong community support network. They're only on FB & IG so here's their info via DuckDuckGo: duckduckgo.com/?q=vecindarios+…

Memphis has not received the attention of larger cities & the assault there has been ongoing *all year*! The 5th search result is from February 😞

want to ad:
My link above is intersectional but immigrant-focused. There is another organization mentioned in the article that @IveyJanette shared above, Just City:
justcity.org/
Their work is specifically aimed at fighting the criminal injustice system via community bail fundraising & advocacy. Giving to both Vecindarios 901 & Just City can help heal the harm being inflicted on Memphis now. Those 2 are worthy Thanksgiving donations this year.

JUST CITY

Just City is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by a group of activists, attorneys, and civic leaders.
