Writers Forum President and Queen Laura Hernandez submitted a short piece on supporting the protests in the middle of COVID-19 on the day the one demonstration was to assemble in the Kohl’s parking lot. Before I could get it posted, that plan had been postponed. And then merely changed locations. And then another one added.
It was a chaotic weekend, and between the breaking events chaos and my day job, it didn’t get posted right away, and events quickly moved past the content of most of Laura’s message .
Because this seems to be an ongoing event, we decided to post the still-relevant parts of her piece.
We welcome any piece submitted by members that helps us navigate these difficult times. That’s what writers do. See below for submission guidelines.
My Country is on Fire
As protests continue across the country, police continue to make arrests of those exercising their constitutional rights to fight injustice. Here are a few places you can donate to bail funds to support protestors who have been arrested:
- National Bail Fund Network
- The Bail Project
