rebloging myself bc someone asked: the point of this post is beyond whether you can or can’t reblog it. the point is whether you should or shouldn’t.
if you’re a non black poc, or a white person, what you’re called to do now is to stand in solidarity.
see someone making BLM into a relatable aesthetic? call it out
see a post with donation links? reblog it and donate if you can (x), (x), (x)
the MN freedom fund itself is bringing attention to other fundraisers. check their twitter.
most importantly know this doesn’t end in the internet, that is not enough. family or friends saying anti-black bullshit? say something. read on the subject of racism and anti-black state violence, prison abolitionism, etc etc
if you’re not from the US learn about what is happening in YOUR country re: black communities and learn how to help them
do not speak over black people
go to a protest (with the necessary precautions)
do not donate to anything shaun king posts because he has a history of asking for money in the name of BLM and then the money vanishes. the mn freedom fund has made the clarification already
listen to black people, and stand with them. interject in the situations that you can, and educate yourself and others. as riots and protests spread know many states and cities freedom funds will need donations. check with national bail fund network, or free them all.
don’t ask me if you can reblog, ask yourselves how can you contribute. you shouldn’t be asking if you can help, but how. it doesn’t begin by reading theory, it begins by caring about people
