Friday Night Rights Rally in SF Says Native Lives Matter

On pretty short notice, Sioux Falls neighbor Carrie Johnson and friends on some South Dakotans of good conscience to rally at 10th and Minnesota yesterday after work to demonstrate their support for our indigenous neighbors and their rejection of the racism that nixed Friday’s Sturgis Brown High School football game. Johnson sends these photos of South Dakota’s conscience at work:

Let’s hope some Sturgis students and parents are having a good conversation this weekend about the idea that Native lives matter, too.
