Tony McDade and Blackathon

Tony McDade was a Black, trans person who was killed by police in Tallahassee. There isn't a lot of information about Tony's death. I mostly wanted to share the GoFundMe that was set up to help Tony's family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-tony-mcdade

I also wanted to make this post today because it's Juneteenth. If you are unaware, Juneteenth is a celebration because it's the day the last slaves were freed. This year, some members of the BookTube community are doing a special 48-hour readathon to highlight queer and Black reads. I'll share a graphic that was made with the info:
