All of us cause harm and we all experience harm at some point in our lives. How might we more readily account for and respond to harms in our communities? - rjposters.com

Welcome new followers. There are so many amazing people working towards #CopFreeLibraries. Please read the Teen Vogue article and follow and support @Lib4AllSTL, tinyurl.com/SafeLAPL, ablaivy.medium.com
Thanks @TeenVogue for this and for the shoutout. Under-resourced communities are policed disproportionately in libraries. Libraries are some of the last public spaces for folks to go, and we are constantly telling certain people they don’t belong. That’s fucking bullshit.
We need to stop criminalizing and policing our patrons. Cops have no place in our libraries or our communities. #CopFreeLibrary #Abolition

Thank you to everyone that came to our first community conversation last night. It was rejuvenating to connect with so many amazing people that want, and are working towards, a #CopFreeLibrary. Cops have no place in our libraries or our communities. #Abolition
