News for the week of December 14

We’re going to be trying a new format to better represent what’s happening, with fewer protests taking place throughout the week. Each Monday we’ll start a news round-up by category, still focusing on the topics of racial justice, policing, and protests. Individual protests and actions will get their own post for the day. You can let us know what you think by tagging @ameschright on Twitter.
