So I know I still have a lot to learn about magic, but it seems to me there are some things missing in the suggestions for #fighting for ferguson.
A lot of the stuff going around seems very detached? And I mean, I understand that that's just how a lot of spells are, they're spiritual and symbolic. At the same time though, it is frequently pointed out that that's only half of what the work is, you also need it grounded in the mundane. A job spell's not going to do much good if you haven't sent out any resumes, right?
Another thing that I've noticed is there seems to be only focus on justice and protection. I'd like to suggest that maybe adding things like lasting change, destruction of misinformation, spreading of information, amplifying black voices, opening of eyes / ears/ minds, etc. to the list might be worth while?
Particularly I think a focus on spells that go hand in hand with talking to the people around you about what's going on would be beneficial. A big part of this protest is fixing a hugely broken system. There may not be a lot we individually can do to fix this at the source, but that's only part of the problem. People who don't understand or are being feed incorrect information help hold this system in place.
So with that in mind here are some magic-y ideas:
Modify a spell so it ends with you signing a petition
Reblogging information posts as offerings to a deity
Charging some spare change with "pass it on" style information
Send letters to relevant government offices with invisible lemon ink sigils
Send handwritten letters to relevant government offices with blessed ink / pen
Learn the counter-arguments to some of the common misinformation (i.e. Darren Wilson has injuries from the attack) and put them on a knife to be used in an extraction ceremony
Learn the counter-arguments to some of the common misinformation and bake them into something sweet to help make it easier to take in.
Do shadow work to make yourself a better ally
Make bravery charms so when the moment comes to speak up you can
Do recharging rituals to keep yourself from burning out
Use the schedule post feature to remind you when to recharge any related spells.
Find a money spell you can add the stipulation of sending above and beyond your needs to a Ferguson related cause.
Also, here are some posts with non-magic-y suggestions on what you can do to help:
