Kicking Ass: St. Paul City Council Vice President Hwa Jeong Kim (AKA Where Do You People Think You Are?)

 

Thanks to some great repoting and photojournalism (the picture of St. Paul City Council Vice President Hwa Jeong Kim by Aaron Nesheim) by Sahan Journal (reporting for immigrants and communities of color)--you can see how this unfolded, and how easy it is for law enforcement at all levels, to get out of hand.  

But that's why they were there in the first place--the community--because it's already corrupt.

Create the chaos and then blame it on protesters and activists but they forget where they were and who they're deadling with.

At all levels. 

Community and leaders who won't stand for more abuses of power.

In Pictures: Asian Americans At the No Kings Rally Minneapolis

This past weekend I was down at the No Kings protest in both Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The one in Saint Paul where I was first was smaller but electric. So many wonderful people there. The one in Minneapolis was by all accounts, just huge, with the incredible energy. At each, I documented, protested, led chants, participated in chants, marched, and met some amazing people.

Below are some of the people I met and photographed from the APIA community at the Minneapolis protests. Thank you all so much for your energy and making sure that our voices are heard. 

While the majority of the pictures are self explanatory, the last two are of one of the drummers there (they brought it!) and one of the volunteers at the health station. Protesting and helping to organize.
