This is #Maddie . She lives in area of #WeHo that was looted last night. The shop was vandalized with alt-right slogans. Today she and her friends bought cans of primer and painted over them. They don’t even know who opens the store. Amazing community spirit. #GeorgeFloydProtests pic.twitter.com/YmQRrskOaq
