Just a reminder that Black artists need to be supported right now.  A lot is going on, but an aspect of it i want to focus on is black characters in media. Often a default, even for you black creators, is to design with white characters in mind. Support black creators and encourage blackness In our media beyond just side characters, character customization, and one off background characters.

Happy belated birthday 🦀

Updated list of MN organizations that need funding after this week

 Reclaim the Block  are maintaining a live list of organizations in need that are serving the community most impacted by the uprising.

I’ve updated this list again. I highlighted the Minnesota Sanctuary Hotel, which is a homeless shelter. I didn’t realize that George Floyd volunteered at a homeless shelter in Minneapolis. This is a lovely way to honor his spirit. The organization is trying to raise funds to purchase a vacant hotel, close to where George Floyd’s life tragically ended, and turn it into a shelter. We need more shelter beds in MSP. The situation was bad BEFORE Covid. Now it’s critical.

Also: as a note, if you want to add your fundraiser or organization to this list please contact me through replies, instead of just reblogging the list with your stuff attached. I’m trying to focus on Minnesota because that’s where I live and that’s where I can do the most good. Thanks!

OFFICIAL Gianna Floyd Fund (George Floyd's child) organized by Tiffany Lee

**UPDATE MESSAGE** 6/3/2020 - Please note that THIS is the only legal Gi… Tiffany Lee needs your support for OFFICIAL Gianna Floyd Fund (George Floyd's child)

if you can, share or donate to the official fund for george floyd’s 6 year old daughter. it was organized by the family’s legal team and shared by his best friend, so it’s legitimate. the least we can do is make sure his baby is set for life.

HEY IF YOURE IN THE US. CONGRESS IS TRYING TO END ENCRYPTION SO THEY CAN POSSIBLY LIMIT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH UNDER “FOR THE CHILDREN” ITS BEEN AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC AND NOW AT THE SENATE, CALL YR REPS AND TELL THEM YOUR AGAINST THE EARN IT BILL. TELL THEM ITS THE END OF FREE SPEECH.

PLEASE PLEASE SIGN THIS AND REBLOG! IF YR NOT IN THE US AND WANNA TRY* AND HELP. REBLOG THIS AND LET OTHER US CITIZENS KNOW. edit; i didn’t realize apparently signing if your not a us citizen invalidates it, so please DON’T sign it if youre not in the us. please reblog this version if you can. also the thing about this bill is it fucks over digital security in general as in you can get hacked easily, or hackers can gain access to things without encryption.

i understand that not everyone can donate rn even if they really wanted to. i myself am currently unemployed and cannot donate much more than i already have atm !! not donating is okay - pls don’t feel guilty if you do not have the means to do so.

if donating is not a possibility right now, ive found this 1 hour video you can watch on youtube where all proceeds from the ad revenue will go to an organization to help the cause (more info in the video’s description). op has compiled songs and art from Black artists to listen to. you can leave it on to play in the background or plug in earphones and go about your business as usual. it can’t get more simple than that.

as a fandom that’s known to mass stream, it would be amazing if you could channel that energy into watching this video !!!!!

black people, please take care of yourselves. please take care of your health. please take care of your mind. please take care of your spirit.

i understand if your soul is not at peace. i understand if you are exhausted. just, please take care of yourselves in these dark, hateful times and surround yourself with people who understand why.

HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY
