  1. BLACK LIVES MATTER

    zacharylevis:

    Stop closing your eyes, stop scrolling past, stop thinking it’s not your problem.
    I’m a white person and might be talking especially to white people out there not being enough aware. It’s the time we say stop, and we need to stop standing still, it’s not a “Black People’s problem”, it’s not a problem “out of our community”, it’s humanity and decency and rights to live and BREATHE not in constant fear. We have voices and privilege that somehow makes our voices worthier to whatever else? So we have to use it, to fight RACISM and SYSTEMIC RACISM that’s sitting inside all of us and in our everyday lives. We need to be all on one side, so there won’t be sides anymore.

    I’ve been following all the recent news since the George Floyd murder and I’ve found some good stuff to stay informed, understand what’s happening and start do something. I thought about sharing.

    Please SIGN all these petitions and help demand JUSTICE for Black People that have been murdered and their names forgotten. All you need is 10 minutes of your time to sign all the petitions on both pages, every petition has a paragraph explaining the history of what happened to that black person and what you’re signing for. We’re also talking about black children murdered, a pregnant black woman beaten causing the loss of her unborn baby.

    Keep reading if you want to do more as you should.

    If you can DONATE (not to change.org, donations won’t go to associations but to them to “support the cause” but you better donate to help the protestors and/or the victims), TEXT or CALL asking for justice and help bring awareness and justice for Black People.

    STAY INFORMED on what’s happening (by @utenas).
    Other ways to support/be an ally (by @calmholland).
    Stand with #BlackLivesMatter.
    Enough to be silent. Make posts, talk to people, raise awareness and learn.

    Watch and read these:

    + understand and recognize your privilege, hear the call to action to not just be not-racist, but BE ANTI-RACIST:

    #SAYTHEIRNAMES

    It’s not Black People vs. White People.
    Black People are fighting for their rights to BREATHE and LIVE day after day without the fear they could be the next. Put yourself in their shoes: it’s not whites and blacks, it has to be people AGAINST racism. It’s JUSTICE, it’s EQUALITY, RIGHTS that Black people deserve as they’re humans like all the other people and have nothing less than them.

    Goodnight.
