✊🏿BLACK LIVES MATTER RALLY✊🏿 || ✊🏿Sunday 7th June 2020✊🏿
I seldom have words to really describe how I am feeling right now. I know the same goes for many of us. Distress. Sadness. Anger. Hurt. These are just a few of the many feelings that we are currently experiencing. Most of all. We are TIRED. We are tired of Black lives being taken brutally by police. We are tired of justice never being served. We are tired of the news saying they “died” when they were murdered. TIRED. The murder of George Floyd, one of the more recent victims of police brutality, has sparked protests internationally. The world is waking up; we’ve had enough and are demanding justice.
The Sims, whilst it is a way to escape, is also used to portray life as we know it.This is why I want to organise a Black Lives Matter Rally.
It’s crazy to me, that 4 years ago the sims community got together and did a rally hosted by @simflux and @circasim. What’s even more crazy is we are back at the point where another one has to be organised. Thank you for the inspiration and courage to revive your last rally, to bring awareness to the injustices faced by Black men, women and children.
✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 How To Attend The Rally ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
This Sunday (7th June), using the #BLMSimsRally #Ebonix #Ebonixsims hashtags, I’d love you all to share photos across your social medias of your sims and RP characters participating in the rally. I want to create a huge post of participants once the rally is completed. There is no backdrop, but using my old Rally Pack, your sims can rally on the streets of any town in your game (I would recommend San Myshuno!)
Be creative with it! There’s no right or wrong way to do this. You are just using your own outlet to show support for the movement! Please feel free to use your own backgrounds, png people and everything else if you wish to. This is your portrayal of your rally and I want to share it with the world.
I made a Rally Pack back in 2016, which is still being used today, so feel free to use it, recolour it, do whatever you want. It definitely needs an update.

I’ve also created some more recent t-shirts and sweaters for this rally, which I hope you all like. If you make CC, don’t hesitate to make your own!
@elliesimple - 80s Ombre Shirt
@ooobsooo - Sweatshirt 3
@jordutch - Brands Sweater
@youn-zoey - T Shirt (included)
I will be reblogging any creations by creators who’s made content related to BLM also.
If you play TS3 and want to join in, I’d love to see your rally posts too! You can download merch by @simflux HERE
If you play TS2, I don’t know if there are any pieces yet to be made, so if you are a creator and would like to help TS2 community to participate, I’d greatly appreciate your support with this!
