Women supporting Michael Brown and Ferguson, Missouri, on Instagram

women protests Mike Brown Fergson Instagram 8

The magnifying glass has not left Ferguson, Missouri, since Michael Brown was killed by officer Darren Wilson last week, and with the help of social media, we’re able to see supporters from all over. While many people of various ages and races have come together to rally against the injustice of the system, we have seen beautiful women standing at the front lines of many of the Ferguson protests and peace rallies popping up across the country. It has been inspiring to see women standing up for black men — not worried about the consequences they may face, including jail time and violence if things go awry.

Through hashtags on Instagram like #MikeBrown and #Ferguson, everyone is able to see what’s going on in the streets. While the facts may never be released by the mainstream media, we can thank people on social media for giving us an inside look at Michael Brown‘s hometown and others who are supporting the fight. Bringing awareness to the real stories by sharing your own experiences helps everyone understand the magnitude of the issue at hand. Take a look at the Instagram photos of women on the front lines of protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and beyond.
