I Need Your Help

I woke up from a mid-day nap before work to a text that read as follows:
"Peace. This morning our friend, Amelia, was arrested at Lincoln's campus, after being accused of handing out flyers to publicize her food strike, after finding insects in her salad, the only thing on campus she can eat being a vegetarian. Whether you know Amelia or not, you received this text message because you understand, like I do, the power of prayer at a time like this, so please, send positive energy, prayers and well wishes her way. This is bigger than food choice; the powers that be are trying to quiet us by any means necessary, even at historically Black colleges, built on revolution and development of Black people. Pass it on..."
That's a lot for a text right? It was about 6 messages in all. Either way, this needed to be shared. I'm asking ya'll for a favor. Extend your prayers and positive energy to Amelia if you're capable of doing so.

You Are Appreciated,
B
