Protests continue in Columbus over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police. Friday night lead to the destruction of storefronts throughout the Short North. Many business, now boarded up, took it as an opportunity to speak up in solidarity with the movement through writing on their boards, posts via social media, or supplies left out on the stoops for protestors in the area.

• There’s protesting, rioting, then there is looting. I’m not worried about the stuff, I’m worried about the people. Y’all stay safe. Don’t worry, we are in action to figure out how we can meet with the powers that be on ways to create outlets. This wasn’t about crime on a black business, this had deeper roots. See y’all after things cool off. Love, Sc. ————————— THIS IS ON US! For generations we have called the youth stupid, taken funding from their programs, kicked them out of places and ignored them. What would you expect? Don’t lock your doors tighter, open your hearts wider. Spread love, Sc. Drop a positive message to the youth in our comments.
