Heads up for those attending Otakon

There is a white supremacist rally scheduled in Washington DC during Otakon.

It’s on Saturday & Sunday , just a few blocks from the con center.

I am concerned for the safety of all the innocent people who are just trying to enjoy a nice weekend and who may face aggression and violence because of these people. It’s being organized by the same people who organized the rally last year that caused the death of Heather Heyer.

The entire idea of ‘White Civil Rights’ is a fallacy. White people have never had their civil rights in jeopardy as a result of being white. The concept of whiteness was created purely to dehumanize people of color, deprive POC of their rights, and bring about economic gain and privilege for the benefit of white people.

There is no room for racism in my community. We must protect each other. By any means necessary.

Take care and be safe.

Anyone who is going to Otakon, please be aware of this and avoid the area. I would be heartsick to hear that any of you were injured by these assholes.

And yes, move in groups and protect one another.

@cheritzteam I’m so sorry you’re coming to this country during such an ugly time. I hope the fans you’ll meet at Otakon will show you that we’re not a nation of hateful people. We just have a lot of work to do.

Be careful everyone!!
