#BlackLivesMatter
As many of you may know there have recently been numerous protests going on in several states around America. The protests were triggered by the murder of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of a white police officer.
Black Lives Matter is an international human rights movement specifically fighting against systematic racial discrimination from police and other military, and striving for justice for all black lives which have been taken or negatively changed due to Americaâs law enforcement. This is a problem everywhere but right now American protestors need support.
To support the Black Lives Matter movement including the protests currently undergoing in America and all over the world, please take the time to read through this carrd which links things you can do to help such as petitions, donations and spreading information.
