BLACK LIVES MATTER
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:
George Floyd NOT resisting the arrest (no death scene)
The real person that George Floyd was
Tamika Mallory speech and urgent call for justice
Killer Mike speech to ATL
The Tyler Merritt Project: Before You Call The Cops
Atlanta protest before the police showed up causing violence
Brooklyn protest before NYPD incited violence
Woman named Latonya speaks peacefully in a protest in Austin, Texas (that’s the full protest video, she speaks at minute 27.27 + other videos 1, 2)
Police being the real violent ones: - verbal/physical aggression towards a peaceful protestor - showing palpable excitement like it’s a fucking game - acting violent towards protestors - shooting rubber bullets against journalists/reporters - pepper-spraying an elected official black woman - attacking with a bicycle a harmless woman, sparkling violence
Police beating Black harmless People (a man and a woman, a child)
Black autistic man needing to be identified so white cops won’t go after him
Nice things: - White old woman and black man meeting in a store - Black woman twerking to the police - Atlanta Chief of Police Department (named Erica) actually listening protestors: 1 + 2 (the woman speaking at 1.25 broke me in tears) + 3 - White people barrier in defense of black protestors from police
#RaiseTheDegree
+ understand and recognize your privilege, hear the call to action to not just be not-racist, but BE ANTI-RACIST:
Rihanna’s NAACP speech that calls for unity, solidarity and not considering all black people’s problems as their own only: “Imagine what we could do, TOGETHER”
Billie Eilish callout to white privilege
Jane Elliot speech on white privilege and conscious silence towards racist attitudes and behaviours

Privilege is when you think something is not a problem because you’re not personally involved

You don’t need to be Black to feel outraged
Ava DuVernay’s call to action
It’s not only America. It’s a plague affecting the whole world.
Don’t go for #AllLivesMatter, your life matters, Black people’s lives are not being treated as human lives, they’re being murdered with bare hands or shot for doing something that would cost a 1-day-in-jail max for a white person. That’s to that we need to focus the support and solidarity and protests and asks for justice, because they’re the ones being killed and mistreated, not whites. #BLACKLIVESMATTER
#SAYTHEIRNAMES
Sandra Bland whose mugshot was taken when she was already dead
Layleen Polanco (black transgender woman, 27, found dead in police custody)
Breonna Taylor (shot 8 times in Louisville in her home, March 13, 2020)
Tony McDade (black trans woman, killed a few days ago in Tallahassee)
Marsha P. Johnson (black trans woman who fought for LGBTQ)
Willie Simmons (serving 38 years for a 9$ robbery)
Malik Williams (man on wheelchair, shot 86 times on Dec. 31, 2019)
#JusticeForFloyd, #JusticeForAhmaud, #JusticeForBreonna
George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tamir Rice, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Samuel Dubose, Sandra Bland, Walter Scott, Terrence Crutcher, REGIS KORCHINSKI-PAQUET, Tony McDade, Ira Latrell, Christopher Mitchell and many others who don’t deserve to be forgotten.
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.
ways to support the blm movement
this google doc includes a list of petitions to sign, resources to help educate yourself and others, organizations to donate to, and contacts of law officials to get in touch with to express your support for the george floyd and black lives matter movements. this includes ways to help even if you don’t live in america. please read it and support the movement.
use your voice. use every platform you have, no matter how big or how small. nothing will change if you just sit there and watch. if you think you’re the exception, you’re not. remaining indifferent will only support the oppressor. do something.
write to your legal representatives. express your support for legislation that would bring justice to the unarmed civilians who’ve been murdered by law enforcement officers. demand for justice.
call 612-324-4499 ㅡ this is a hotline that will coach you on how to get connected with the people who can arrest the officers that murdered george floyd.
create serious conversation. stop demeaning people who disagree with your philosophies on how to overcome. it is useless and no better than the practices of the oppressor to silence. we need to listen to each other with respect and really consider how we can combine our perspectives to create practical change.
please feel free to add any links or resources or information that you think will be helpful and also reblog to spread awareness. the systems we are fighting against were literally created to oppress marginalized communities and therefore will not go down without a fight. we need to collectively stand up and do something about it.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!!!

if you don't say anything about the death of POC people, you are taking the murderers side. White people (like me) have so much privilege, and we NEED to use our voice. We need to use our platforms and our privilege to help other HUMAN BEINGS !! I can understand Tumblr being your safe space, I get that, but this is nearly turning into a race war. White silence is not supportive. White silence is violence. White silence is not neutral ground. White silence is taking the oppressors side.
‼️
even non-black POC silence is violent. THE OTHER OFFICER WAS AN ASIAN MAN. anti-blackness is rampant in every single culture. we’re privledged enough to have choice whether or not we want to ignore it or not.
there are black, lgbt+ kids on tumblr don’t have a choice. there’s no safe space for them when ur compliant.
links to petitions/ gofundmes
you can donate to the minnesota freedom fund to bail out protestors here. I donated $10. if you see this, will you either match my donation or reblog to spread it?
keep it goin
boosstttt
in the wake of yet another black person being murdered by police, here’s a list of relevant fundraisers and organizations that could use your support right now.
this is specifically a call to action for fellow white people. if you’re white and you’re in any way able to, donate.
George Floyd’s memorial fund
Minnesota Freedom Fund: “We value a society that values its people, their freedom and recognizes their contribution to the greater good. A society that does not condition pretrial freedom on class or identity, that has ended mass incarceration, and that invests in restorative and transformative justice.”
Black Visions Collective, an org that strives to “shape a political home for Black people across Minnesota. We aim to center our work in healing and transformative justice principles, intentionally develop our organizations core DNA to ensure sustainability, and develop Minnesota’s emerging Black leadership to lead powerful campaigns.”
Reclaim the Block, which “organizes Minneapolis community and city council members to move money from the police department into other areas of the city’s budget that truly promote community health and safety. We believe health, safety and resiliency exist without police of any kind. We organize around policies that strengthen community-led safety initiatives and reduce reliance on police departments.”
