Justice for Tete Gulley! Sign the petition and donate to Tete’s family.

A cartoon with the palette of peachy-pink, sky blue, and tangerine orange. The comic depicts a fictional week in Portland known as "The Hottest Week of Summer 2020." Queers in the service industry are forced to serve customers without masks, there's a vigil for black lives who have been murdered by the police, the Portland protests continue, fans continue to blow around hot air in record high temperatures, and a cat sleeps on an ice pack.
