By now, you’ve probably heard of Bree Newsome who took down the South Carolina confederate flag.

After being arrested, the hashtag #FreeBree emerged to celebrate Newsome’s act of nonviolent resistance and call for her freedom. Michael Moore tweeted that he would pay her bail or legal fees and Jesse Williams also tweeted his support. Selma director Ava DuVernay, who we know has been in talks to direct Black Panther with Chadwick Boseman, referenced the rumors in a tweet praising Newsome.

 Newsome received tons of support and over 20 thousand dollars were raised for her bail. And now, the most appropriate vine to celebrate Newsome’s heroism.
