I know scratch has many younger users so I'll keep this light, short, and easy to read. https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# _____________________________________________ In the United States, many African Americans are hurt through violence and other means by the police and government. It has been going on ever since the start this country was founded and needs to stop. The phrase 'black lives matter' is used in the movement to help stop the attack and oppression of African Americans, and it means that the lives of African Americans are equal and matter just like anybody else's. In the notes and credits I've listed ways you can help below. #blacklivesmatter #blm #justiceforgeorgefloyd
~for those 10 and below~ » this age group is a little young so i'd only suggest talking to a trusted adult or guardian about racism and how to avoid it. ~for those 11-12~ » this is a weird middle age and you might be wondering what you can do to help. i suggest having anti-racism conversations, spreading awareness on any social media you may have, and signing the petitions below: •https://t.co/Ee2puKXOYZ?amp=1 •https://t.co/HnCggVZDEM?amp=1 •https://t.co/Y1qOlpJxZv?amp=1 •https://t.co/gTJxRrsbnY?amp=1 •https://t.co/h2Zn3wDkIn?amp=1 •https://t.co/9a1bFc2BCG?amp=1 •https://t.co/hBGeORKA9W?amp=1 •https://t.co/S7gAwqysa3?amp=1 •https://t.co/PknRXddpjK?amp=1 •https://t.co/hRXN5sR0ae?amp=1 •https://t.co/si1Cw3RIm8?amp=1 ~for those 13 and up~ » first make sure you scroll back up and sign all of the petitions above. you can find more petitions to sign here: https://twitter.com/blazedbxtch/status/1266824523040665603 » next i'd highly encourage educating yourself of the subject matter through this link: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ » if you're at this age it would also be appropriate to go to protests if you can do so safely and are accompanied by a trusted adult if you are a minor. the younger you the less i suggest you go to a protest as the police are sadly responding to these protests with violence and arrest. a list of ways to be safe at protests can be found here: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ !DO NOT GO WITHOUT EDUCATING YOURSELF ON HOW TO STAY SAFE! » i also highly recommend donating to trusted resources, and if you can't stream youtube videos that donate to the movement. either search up 'blm stream to donate' or stream this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zXMcOE0YVI&list=PL8JIjfORcP2NstZg6L1mRDzZDuALFuPGl » TLDR check out this link: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# it has almost all of this info and more places to protest, donate, and sign.
