Hi guys!

Instead of trending meaningless hashtags for lapone or jo1, please instead maybe help trend what really matters right now.

An innocent black man was murdered the other day by a police officer who believes he’s above the law.

#BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

this isn’t saying you have to stop everything and tweet only about this topic. you can tell lapone happy birthday! and still tweet about your faves!

but maybe take a moment to do the following too:
- educate your followers
- check your own privilege
- spread the word

I’d like to highlight this really good thread that includes things you can do to help safely and successfully get involved and spread the word. Please go through it! https://twitter.com/tpwkhollands/status/1265757092473954306

I’d also like to bring up a really good quote to those who are looking at this and thinking “this is so lame” or “i don’t care” or “it doesn’t affect me”:

IF YOU ARE NEUTRAL IN SITUATIONS OF INJUSTICE THEN YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE SIDE OF THE OPPRESSOR. - desmond tutu
