Hey I know that we’re dealing with something huge right now but trump is trying to allow adoption agencies to refuse services to lgbtq+ families.... not only is this descrimination but there are TOO many children in the system for them to allow this. Those kids need homes.... I’m disgusted

I’ve seen posts going around saying “Bail funds are full, stop donating” THIS IS NOT TRUE. These organizations still need help. While funds could be topped off, money is constantly being used during this time. Here is a complete list of bail fund organizations by state.

How to Safely and Ethically Film Police Misconduct

Know your rights.

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.

At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.

HOLY SHIT. This was extremely informative. Please everyone READ THIS!!!

[imgladyourehereholdme]

hello someone on instagram made a document with a ton of resources on the movement surrounding george floyds murder and how to help and educate yourself. its updated very frequently and is super comprehensive and well organized, i thought i could share it here

[remy]

there are currently protestors clashing with police directly in front of the white house. Do not spread any videos of this. Do not spread any photos of this. This goes for all protestors in any city in any state. if you have to share a picture completely block out the entire person, do not blur the image as there is software that can undo blurring. 

[remy]

Preemptively, instead of saying stupid and racist shit on this post please donate to any of the following links to assist protestors 

GOFUNDMES FOR VICTIMS FAMILIES George Floyd’s Family Fund Justice for Regis Korchinski Paquet (if you know any more gofundme’s for victims please link them i’m having trouble finding more)

BAIL FUNDS  Brooklyn Atlanta Louisville Columbus Houston (Second One) NYC Philadelphia  Massachusetts  Oakland (Second One) Richmond Chicago Colorado  Memphis Gainesville/Alachua county Detroit Baltimore Chapel Hill More links to bail funds here and here

[mothpoem]

so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence. 

DONATE, PARTICULARLY TO MINNESOTA-BASED BLACK YOUTH MOVEMENTS / MUTUAL AID FUNDS WHO ARE DOING WORK ON THE GROUND. FOLLOW/BOOST IF YOU CAN’T.

• The Minnesota Freedom Fund, a mutual aid group fighting back against the unjust MN bail system, is taking donations. (Twitter)

• The Black Visions Collective, a Minnesota-based freedom fighter organization creating campaigns for justice, is taking donations. (Twitter)

• Reclaim the Block, a coalition to demand that Minneapolis divest from policing, is taking donations. (Twitter)

• Crowdfunding for black trans people in need thread. 

• Comprehensive Minnesota bail fund/support document for May and June.

[buffysummers]

I just wanna give a special shout out to all the people who write nice things in the tags when they reblog gifsets. It takes so much work to make a set and y’all simply saying “pretty!” or “beautiful!” or “I love this!” really makes gifmakers feel appreciated. We love u all
