Alexis Templeton has been on the front lines of the Ferguson protest movement since its inception. KCUR reported:
Twenty-year-old Alexis Templeton has been on the front lines of protests since she arrived in Ferguson, five days after Brown was shot.
I was in Phoenix, Arizona, when Michael Brown was shot and killed. When I got back, I immediately hit the ground, standing at the front of riot lines, being face to face with the police, she said. That was me for the last 89 days. Tomorrow, it will be three months, the days start to blend together.
She is a member of Millennial Activists United, a group that was founded in the aftermath of Browns death to unify younger Ferguson residents who are fighting to make their voices heard. She says her fellow protesters have become her new family. Trying to create change in her community has become her everyday life.
Templeton, a prominent protester, was recently tapped to help with one of the citys proposed reforms to its police department: a civilian review board.
Alexis Templeton often leads chants at protests. She lost her voice for a while from screaming. Her yells can be heard on many of the livestreams.
Yesterday while protesting her home got burglarized.
Someone broke into my house

The burglars took some things. Thankfully, her grandmother was OK.
Im ok. My grandmas ok. The house is in tact. A few things stolen, but its all good. Thank you all for the support.

Heh heh heh
Karma, Baby! Its a bee-yotch!
The local manager has changed so many times in the last year, he probably couldn’t care less.......................
Couldn’t have happened to a better person! Hopefully, she continues to experience these types of things.
Yes. Bless their little hearts. Poor things. : )
That was me for the last 89 days. Tomorrow, it will be three months,”
So, she lives in Phoenix but has been able to live in Ferguson for the past three months. I never realized there was so much money on an EBT card that a person could travel across the country, and pay for room & board indefinitely. Then again, maybe Obama’s paying for it from his “stash”.
What’s the problem? Sounds like that redistribution of wealth that they all advocate.
Too bad the thieves can’t post her stolen stuff on Ebay! LOL
Make her buy it back.
It’s all good.
(here are pictures of some of the ‘pros’)

"Wait a tic.....blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought."
While the cat’s away...
All things happen for a reason.
The Village People got back together?
DANG!
Apparently it takes the Village People.
Or, protesting IS her job, and someone is paying her to do it.
Millenial Activists United.
Iow she’s a Mauist.
