As the UK eases lockdown and the world feels as though it is on fire, it’s really easy to feel as though you are not doing enough. There are mixed messages absolutely everywhere. Ones telling you to stay home, ones telling you to go out and march for what is right. But what are you meant to do?
Honestly, if you have read any of my articles before you will know that very rarely do I possess the…

If you can’t protest, please continue to donate to Campaign Zero, @reclaimtheblock, the George Floyd Memorial Fund, and other great organizations to fund for racial justice. The time is now:
black communities have been witnessing executions like the one that happened to George Floyd throughout generations of oppression. this is terrorism, and it is not the burden of these communities to demand change. so, white people. how can we show up to support our black communities during this time?
1. call the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey: (612) 673-2100 and the DA: (612) 348-5550. demand the prosecution of all of the officers involved in the murder of George Floyd, including Derek Chauvin (badge 1087) and Tou Thao (badge 7162).
2. text “Floyd” to 55156 and demand that the officers in charge of George Floyd’s death be charged with murder.
3. black people are asking that we STOP sharing the video of George Floyd’s death. we do not need to witness a murder in order to care about it. cruelty like this exists and it is REAL. period.
George Floyd was face down on the ground with a grown man’s knee in the back of his neck, begging them to let him breathe. the officer’s knee remained there even after losing consciousness. the officer continued to kill him. no one deserves a death of that manner and we should all be outraged. to be black in the U.S. should not be a death sentence.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on here but due to recent events (as I’m sure everyone is aware of) I’m opening up donation commissions to help support the cause.
I’ll draw any requested character/OC for a minimum of 10$ or more (details above). DM me first then DONATE to either ‘Reclaim the Block’ or any other BLM organizations from this list: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#donate
I’ll try to do as much as I can, 3 slots at a time
SLOT 1: [CLOSED] SLOT 2: OPEN SLOT 3: OPEN
If you can’t donate that’s ok!! Share this post and visit the link above there are many ways to help even without money, anything counts!
I need to share this right now so I can eat but i will add more later! I DON’T care if its not ACNH. If this bothers you, unfollow me. I couldn’t care less. It bothers me how little I see donation and petition links on here, i have a good amount of followers on here, so see this. sign them.
Please sign them ALL. It really is NOT that hard. And share so others will do the same.
For anyone who doesn’t live with children or watch cartoons on a regular basis, Nickelodeon went off the air for 8 minutes and 46 seconds today. During that time, instead of playing shows or commercials, there was a Nickelodeon orange background with scrolling and repeating messages about racial equality, the right to education, and the right to be safe from harm and hatred.
For those who aren’t aware, as I wasn’t until I googled it, 8 minutes and 46 seconds was the exact amount of time that George Floyd was pinned on the ground.
There’s nothing subtle about this and I’m just. Shocked. In a good way of course, I’ve just never seen this sort of rallying behind a race-based social movement.
Joe Biden is the President-Elect of the United States. This will make Kamala Harris the first woman Vice President, first person of color to be Vice President, and the first woman of color Vice President. This is a monumental moment for America as we transition out of Trump’s reign of power and into one of progress.
With that said: We must hold Joe Biden accountable. Hold him accountable when it comes to COVID-19, racism, police brutality, sexism, homophobia and transphobia, climate change, and everything else going on in America. Just because he won doesn’t mean we stop fighting.
