Happy #Juneteenth! 🤎🙏🏾✊🏾

Happy Juneteenth No Kings No Slaves

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.
