“Dear PoPville,
Can you maybe stress the importance of unity and safety in numbers? This evening at Lafayette, immediately after a large group returned from marching to the Capitol, they took about half of the remaining folks with them for another march.
Leaving maybe two or three dozen people at Lafayette with an entire army.
It’s a mistake we’ve made over and over, and only leads to arrests and violence. Black lives are not being prioritized.“
Thanks to a reader for sending the shot above from 12th Street, SE just south of Lincoln Park.
