We are aware of a false narrative that Sequeerity has posted relating to their participation in assaults on queer and trans protesters. We are aware that they have posted a statement as soon as possible to control the narrative around their behavior this past Sunday.

The racist conscience of America is such that murder does not register as murder, really, unless the victim is white. And it was only when the newspapers and magazines started carrying pictures and stories of white demonstrators being beaten and maimed by mobs and police that the public protested

Whatever your personal opinions and your insecurities about homosexuality and the various liberation movements among homosexuals and women (and I speak of the homosexuals and women as oppressed groups), we should try to unite with them in a revolutionary fashion.

The history of TCC4J began in the ingenious mind of Mel Reeves. Following the murder of Jamar Clark by MPD, it was Mel who had the idea to form a coalition. He had the foresight to see the torch would need to be carried for Jamar Clark long after the occupation of the 4th Precinct.

Oh, believe me MPD, we will never forget the murder of George Floyd followed by your brutal assault of peaceful protesters. Interesting that the picture includes convicted felon cop Justin Stetson. This is the MPD's version of culture change.
