If you are in need of high quality masks as we continue to battle poor air quality here in central Ohio, please reach out to @maskbloc614 who is distributing free KN95 masks! You can DM them here on Instagram or Twitter, via email at maskbloc614@protonmail.com, or complete the form in their bio to request masks if you are in need today, the next few days, or anytime! Happy Saturday y’all! BQIC’s Emergency Fund for June 2023 is now open 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Please like, comment, save and share because Instagram loves to suppress our posts 🤗 Happy Pride Month fam! 🥳 We are so excited for all the fun we’ve got in store with Columbus Community Pride and support all the many other grassroots celebrations happening in Central Ohio this month! Today would've been Julius Tate Jr.'s 21st birthday - one where he should've been celebrating adulthood and settling into the first year of his 20s. Many folks have extravagant stories of how we spent our 21st partying with loved ones, family, or community and uplifting all that it means to enter into a new year. Julius' life was cut far too short at the hands of Columbus Police on December 7th, 2018 when he was killed by Columbus Police only a few yards away from his own home. So instead of Julius having the chance to spend today being surrounded by love, his family has to mourn another year without him physically here. Please join Akronites today as they march for Justice for Jayland Walker!! Meet at First Congregational Church, 292 E Market St in Akron @ 3pm. Let’s make the city of Akron aware that we will not rest until the pigs who murdered Jayland are held accountable, and the violence and surveillance that the Akron Police Department continues to enact on protesters ceases. @servethepeopleakron @thefreedombloc #justiceforjayland May Black Power Book Club is here!!!! This month we’re reading Chapter 2 of Treva Lindsey’s America Goddamn, entitled “the Caged Bird Sings: the Criminal Punishment System” at 7pm. You can attend book club this month either in-person at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Parson’s Branch or via zoom (meeting info below). Book club is for Black LGBTQIA+ folks only. No sweat if you haven’t read, discussion is open to anyone who wants to listen and learn! Message us for access to digital or hard copy 🖤 Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful people who identify as mothers! We love our LGBTQIA+ Mothers out there and all the wonderful mothers who support their LGBTQIA+ kids. Thank you for who you are and all that you do. Birthday Vigil for Donovan Lewis who should be turning 21 years old this year #JusticeForDonovanLewis hosted by @just.614 Please honor comrade Harmony and her work in central Ohio by donating as she plans to relocate out of Columbus by the end of May. She has organized in this city for seven years, helping lead ongoing fights against state violence and providing long term care & resources for multiple families impacted by police violence. Harmony has tirelessly supported our community through her organizing, whether it’d be through training others, uplifting mutual aid, calling for abolition or uplifting transformative justice. She’s supported countless campaigns, organizations, and projects and and we are so grateful to have been in struggle with her during this time.
